What is regenerative
joint treatment?
Everything used in regenerative joint treatment comes from you: platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is made from your blood, and the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from a little adipose tissue. The doctor injects it into the painful joint to lessen inflammation and pain and to support the joint's inner tissues.
For someone with joint pain who wants to avoid surgery or delay it, or who has been told replacement is the only choice, this is worth considering. The doctor reviews your scans to assess the stage — earlier stages give a better chance of a lasting result.

Joints we treat

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
A small sample of your adipose tissue is processed to isolate the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) — a mix of cells involved in tissue repair. Combined with your own plasma, it is injected into the affected joint.
More marked changes in the joint and the wish for a longer-lasting effect are the usual reasons to choose it.
PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood
Your blood, in a small amount, is used to separate plasma rich in platelets and growth factors. This plasma is injected into the joint to help calm inflammation and support tissue repair.
It can be given as its own course of injections or combined with SVF.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
The doctor checks your joint, reviews the X-ray, MRI or ultrasound and makes the decision on whether the procedure is suitable for you. If scans already exist, you can send them before the visit.
Blood sample for PRP
A little blood is drawn from a vein; platelet-rich plasma with growth factors is prepared from it later.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
With local anaesthetic, a small amount of adipose tissue (around 30 ml) is taken via a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh — without stitches.
Processing in a centrifuge
Once spun in a centrifuge, the sample separates into layers, and the stromal vascular fraction isolated from it is mixed with platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.
Injection into the joint
Directly into the affected joint: the prepared material is injected under ultrasound guidance for precise placement.
Follow-up
There are no crutches and you do not stay in hospital. After the procedure the doctor stays in contact and tracks the joint's response.

Follow-up visits
The doctor uses follow-up visits to see the joint's response and change the plan if needed. Usually pain eases during the first month, mobility gets better over about three months, and the full effect takes around six months.

After the procedure
Going home the same day is the norm, and normal daily activity usually resumes within a day or two; small dressings protect the puncture sites. The joint can ache a little more during the first week — this is expected. Pain tends to ease over the first month, mobility and activity improve over about three months, and the full effect develops over around six months. The duration varies from person to person with the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors, so a fixed result cannot be promised. The doctor gives individual guidance on exercise and load for the first weeks.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between PRP and SVF?
PRP is platelet-rich plasma made from your blood; SVF is a fraction of cells isolated from a small sample of your adipose tissue. They act in different ways and are often used together for a stronger regenerative effect in the joint.
Is the treatment safe?
With both methods the tissue is your own, so the chance of rejection or an allergic reaction is very low. Any injection can bring temporary pain, swelling or bruising, and infection is rare. The doctor talks you through the risks in your case at the consultation.
How long does the effect last?
Each case differs. A PRP effect often lasts from several months to around a year, and an SVF effect can last longer. It depends on your body and the stage of the condition, so no one can promise you a fixed result.
Who should not have the procedure?
It is not carried out if you have cancer, an acute infection or a blood clotting disorder, if you are pregnant, or during a flare-up of a serious chronic illness. The doctor checks this at the consultation.
Hip osteoarthritis (coxarthrosis): can it be treated without surgery?
In early stages, a combination of PRP or SVF injections, exercise therapy and physiotherapy can reduce pain and improve movement. Where the joint is already badly damaged, replacement may be more realistic; the doctor will be honest with you once your scans are reviewed.
Can avascular necrosis of the hip be treated?
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.
Why try to avoid joint replacement?
Major surgery, long rehabilitation, risks like infection and implants that may need to be redone eventually — that is what a replacement involves. With early or moderate changes, preserving your own joint first is often sensible.
Can I get a second opinion on my scans?
Yes. Once we receive your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports, a doctor reviews them free of charge and tells you whether the procedure could be right for you and what else may be needed.
How soon can I return to normal life?
Usually within a day or two. There are no crutches and no long rehabilitation; the doctor gives you recommendations on load and exercise for the first weeks.
Does the treatment help with shoulder pain?
For the rotator cuff and the shoulder joint, PRP is used; SVF may be considered in more advanced shoulder arthritis. Whether this is right for you depends on the cause of the pain, which the doctor determines first.

Everything about regenerative joint treatment in Osogbo
The earlier the stage, the better the chance of a lasting effect. That is why patients from Osogbo start with a review of their X-rays or MRI: the doctor assesses the joint and tells you honestly whether SVF or PRP is likely to help or whether another option is more realistic.
PRP can be given as a course of injections or together with SVF. The number of injections and the method are chosen individually for each patient from Osogbo after the examination and scan review.
