What is regenerative
joint treatment?
Material from your own body is at the heart of regenerative joint treatment — PRP, a platelet-rich plasma derived from blood, and SVF, the stromal vascular fraction derived from a small sample of adipose tissue. Placed into the affected joint by injection, it reduces pain and inflammation and supports the joint's tissues.
It can help if your joints hurt and you want to put off or avoid surgery, or if you have heard that replacement is your only choice. Chances of a lasting effect are higher at earlier stages of the condition, and your doctor assesses the stage from the scans.

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
To obtain SVF, the stromal vascular fraction, a small amount of your adipose tissue is processed; this cell mix takes part in repairing tissue. It is injected into the affected joint together with plasma from your own blood.
It tends to be used when the joint is more visibly changed and a longer-lasting effect is being sought.
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.
Used by itself as an injection course, or together with SVF.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
Before anything else, the doctor examines the joint and goes through your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound to see if the procedure is suitable. Scans can be sent to us ahead of time.
Blood sample for PRP
A small blood draw from a vein provides the material from which platelet-rich plasma with growth factors is later prepared.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
About 30 ml of adipose tissue is collected through a puncture on the abdomen or the inner thigh under local anaesthetic. The puncture needs no stitches.
Processing in a centrifuge
Centrifugation divides the sample into layers, so the stromal vascular fraction can be isolated and then mixed with the platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.
Injection into the joint
Ultrasound guidance allows the prepared material to be injected precisely, directly into the affected joint.
Follow-up
You go without crutches and without a hospital stay; the doctor keeps in contact after the procedure and follows your joint's progress.

Follow-up visits
During follow-up visits the doctor checks the joint's response and adapts the plan: pain usually subsides in the first month, movement improves over about three months and the full effect develops over around six months.

After the procedure
Most people go home the same day and return to normal daily activity within a day or two; the puncture sites are covered with small dressings. During the first week the joint may ache a little more — this is an expected reaction. Over the first month the pain usually eases, over about three months mobility and activity improve, and the full effect develops over around six months. How long it lasts differs from person to person and depends on the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors — no one can promise a fixed result. The doctor gives you individual advice on exercise and load for the first weeks.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between PRP and SVF?
PRP comes from your blood and is plasma rich in platelets; SVF is a cellular fraction from a small sample of your adipose tissue. Each works in its own way, and combining them often gives the joint a stronger regenerative effect.
Is the treatment safe?
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.
How long does the effect last?
Results vary. The effect of PRP often holds for several months to about a year; SVF can keep working longer. How long it lasts depends on the stage of the condition and your own body — no one can promise a fixed result.
Who should not have the procedure?
The procedure is ruled out for cancer, acute infections and blood clotting disorders, during pregnancy and during a flare-up of a serious chronic illness. This is checked by the doctor at the consultation.
Can osteoarthritis of the hip (coxarthrosis) 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?
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.
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. Send your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports, and a doctor will review them free of charge and tell you whether the procedure could suit you and what else may be needed.
How soon can I return to normal life?
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.
Does the treatment help with shoulder pain?
Problems of the shoulder joint and rotator cuff are treated with PRP, and more advanced shoulder arthritis may call for SVF. It depends on the cause of your pain, which the doctor has to establish first.

Choosing joint treatment without surgery in Rajkot
Regenerative joint treatment uses material from your own body: platelet-rich plasma from blood and the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from a small sample of adipose tissue. For patients from Rajkot, it is an option to ease pain and inflammation and support the tissues inside the joint without an operation.
It starts with a consultation: the doctor examines the joint and reviews your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound. Then a small blood sample and an adipose tissue sample are taken, processed in a centrifuge and injected into the joint under ultrasound guidance. For patients from Rajkot, everything is done in one day.
How much does joint treatment cost in Rajkot? The answer comes after the doctor has seen your scans and examined the joint: PRP, SVF or a combination are priced differently. The first consultation is free. Send a request or message us in any messenger.
