What is regenerative
joint treatment?

The treatment is regenerative and uses only what your body supplies: PRP (platelet-rich plasma from the blood) and SVF (the stromal vascular fraction from a small piece of adipose tissue). Injected into the joint that hurts, it aims to calm inflammation, ease pain and support the tissue within.

If you live with joint pain and hope to postpone or avoid surgery — or were told that replacement is the only option — this may be for you. How early the condition is matters for a lasting effect, and the doctor determines the stage from your scans.

Joints we treat

Small joints and large ones alike — your scans guide the doctor's choice of joint, method and number of injections

Methods we use

Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue

The method starts with a small adipose tissue sample, which is processed to separate the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a mix of cells active in tissue repair. With your own plasma added, it is injected into the affected joint.

When the joint has more noticeable changes and you want the effect to last longer, this is the usual choice.

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 may be given alone as a course of injections or combined with SVF.

How the procedure goes: step by step

Consultation and scan review

Whether the procedure is for you is decided after the doctor examines the joint and reviews your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound. Any scans you already have can be sent before your visit.

Blood sample for PRP

All it takes is a little venous blood; later on it becomes platelet-rich plasma containing growth factors.
 
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.

Adipose tissue sample

Under local anaesthetic the doctor takes roughly 30 ml of adipose tissue through a small puncture in the abdomen or inner thigh; stitches are not needed.

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

The finished material is injected into the affected joint itself, guided by ultrasound so that it lands precisely.

Follow-up

No crutches, no hospital stay — and after the procedure the doctor keeps in touch to follow the joint's response.

Follow-up visits

After 1 month
3 months
6 months

The plan is adjusted at follow-up visits, where the doctor sees how the joint is responding. Pain tends to ease within the first month, mobility improves over about three months, and the full effect develops over around six months.

After the procedure

Usually you leave the same day and resume ordinary daily activity within a day or two, with small dressings over the puncture sites. The joint may ache slightly more during the first week — an expected reaction. Over the first month pain typically eases; over roughly three months mobility and activity improve; the full effect develops over about six months. Its duration is individual and depends on the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors, so no fixed result can be promised. The doctor advises you personally on exercise and load for the first weeks.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions

Joint treatment in Pimpri: what you should know

The earlier the stage, the better the chance of a lasting effect. That is why patients from Pimpri 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.

Over about three months mobility and activity usually improve, and the full effect develops over around six months. How long it lasts depends on the stage of the condition, body weight and activity, so no one can promise a fixed result to patients in Pimpri.

The cost of joint treatment depends on the joint, the stage of the condition and the method, so the price is set at the consultation. The initial consultation and review of your scans are free for patients from Pimpri. Leave your name and phone number, and a coordinator will contact you.
