Knee and Hip Treatment in Singapore Without Surgery

Your blood gives PRP, a platelet-rich plasma, and a small sample of adipose tissue gives SVF, a fraction of cells. Their actions differ, which is why they are often combined for a stronger regenerative effect in the joint.

Using your own tissue in both methods means a very low risk of rejection or an allergic reaction. Temporary pain, swelling or bruising can happen with any injection, and infection is rare. The doctor explains the risks for your case during the consultation.

There is no single answer. The effect of PRP often lasts several months to about a year, and SVF can last longer. Duration depends on your body and the stage of the condition, and no one can promise a fixed result.

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.

PRP or SVF injections, combined with exercise therapy and physiotherapy, can reduce pain and improve movement at early stages. If damage to the joint is already severe, replacement may be more realistic — the doctor gives an honest answer after seeing your scans.

In the early stages (1–2), SVF therapy may be considered to support the blood supply to the femoral head and put off the need for joint replacement. Later stages usually require surgery.

A replacement is major surgery: rehabilitation is long, there are risks such as infection, and the implant may eventually need redoing. If changes are early or moderate, it often makes sense to try saving your own joint first.

Yes. Send us your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports; a doctor will review them free of charge and tell you whether the procedure could suit you and what else might be needed.

Usually after a day or two. Crutches and long rehabilitation are not needed; for the first weeks you get recommendations on load and exercise from the doctor.

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.
