Joint Treatment in Raqqa: Methods and Steps

PRP is a platelet-rich plasma produced from your blood, and SVF is a fraction of cells isolated from a small sample of adipose tissue. They have different modes of action and are often combined to enhance the regenerative effect in the joint.

Both approaches use tissue from your own body, which makes rejection or an allergic reaction very unlikely. Temporary pain, swelling or bruising may occur, as after any injection, and infection is rare. The risks for your particular case are explained by the doctor at the consultation.

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.

We do not perform the procedure in cases of cancer, acute infection, blood clotting disorders, pregnancy or a flare-up of a serious chronic illness. The doctor checks all of 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.

Replacement is major surgery that brings long rehabilitation, risks including infection, and implants that may eventually need redoing. So with early or moderate changes it often makes sense to first try preserving your own joint.

Yes — just send whatever X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports you have. The review by a doctor costs nothing, and you learn whether the procedure could suit you and what else is needed.

Generally in a day or two. No crutches are needed and there is no long rehabilitation; the doctor tells you how to handle load and exercise during the first weeks.

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