Joint Treatment for Patients from Nellore

PRP means platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood; SVF means a cell fraction isolated from a small portion of your adipose tissue. Working in different ways, they are often combined for a stronger regenerative effect.

Because both methods use your own tissue, the risk of rejection or allergy is very low. As with any injection, there may be temporary pain, swelling or bruising, and infection is rare. At the consultation the doctor explains the risks in your case.

It depends. PRP usually gives an effect lasting from several months to about a year; with SVF it can last longer. Because the stage of the condition and your body affect the duration, no one can promise a fixed result.

Contraindications include cancer, acute infections, blood clotting disorders, pregnancy and a flare-up of a serious chronic illness; in these cases the procedure is not performed. The doctor checks this at the consultation.

PRP or SVF injections combined with exercise therapy and physiotherapy can, at early stages, reduce pain and improve movement. For a joint that is already badly damaged, replacement may be the more realistic option — after seeing your scans, the doctor will tell you honestly.

Early on (stages 1–2), the doctor may consider SVF therapy to support the femoral head's blood supply and delay joint replacement. In later stages surgery is generally required.

Joint replacement involves major surgery and a long rehabilitation, carries risks such as infection, and the implants may eventually have to be redone. With changes that are early or moderate, trying to preserve your own joint first often makes sense.

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.

Normally within a day or two. You will not need crutches or long rehabilitation, and the doctor gives you load and exercise recommendations for the first weeks.

PRP is applied to shoulder joint and rotator cuff problems, and SVF may be considered if arthritis of the shoulder is more advanced. Whether it suits you depends on the cause of the pain — the first thing the doctor establishes.
