Joint Treatment in Narela: Methods and Steps

The difference: PRP is plasma rich in platelets, obtained from your blood, and SVF is a cell fraction isolated from a little of your adipose tissue. Their mechanisms differ, so they are often combined for a stronger regenerative effect.

The tissue comes from you in both methods, so the risk of rejection or allergy is very low. As after any injection, temporary pain, swelling or bruising are possible; infection is rare. At the consultation, the doctor explains the risks that apply to you.

It differs from person to person. After PRP the effect often lasts from several months to around a year, and after SVF it may last longer. How long depends on the stage of the condition and on your body, so nobody can promise a fixed result.

The procedure is not done in people with cancer, acute infections, blood clotting disorders, during pregnancy or during a flare-up of a serious chronic illness. The doctor checks this at the consultation.

At early stages, pain can be reduced and movement improved with PRP or SVF injections combined with exercise therapy and physiotherapy. Should the joint already be badly damaged, a replacement may be more realistic — the doctor tells you honestly after looking at your scans.

SVF therapy may be an option at early stages (1–2) to support blood supply to the femoral head and postpone joint replacement. At later stages, surgery is usually needed.

A replacement is major surgery: rehabilitation is long, there are risks such as infection, and the implant may eventually need redoing. If changes are early or moderate, it often makes sense to try saving your own joint first.

Yes, you can. A doctor reviews the X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports you send free of charge and tells you if the procedure could suit you and what else may be needed.

Typically within a day or two. You need no crutches and no long rehabilitation, and the doctor advises you on exercise and load for the first weeks.

PRP is used for problems of the shoulder joint and the rotator cuff, and SVF may be considered for more advanced arthritis of the shoulder. Whether it suits you depends on the cause of the pain, which the doctor establishes first.
