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.
Suitable for people with joint pain who would rather avoid or postpone surgery, or who were told a joint replacement is inevitable. The earlier the condition, the better the odds of a lasting effect — something the doctor judges from your scans.

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
Your adipose tissue, taken in a small sample, is processed so that the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) can be isolated: a mixture of cells that play a role in tissue repair. Together with your own plasma, it goes into the affected joint.
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
From a small blood sample, plasma rich in platelets and growth factors is separated and injected into the joint. It helps ease inflammation and creates a better environment for tissues to repair.
Used by itself as an injection course, or together with SVF.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
Your joint is examined and the doctor studies your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound to judge whether the procedure is suitable. Existing scans can be sent before the appointment.
Blood sample for PRP
We take a small blood sample from a vein. From it, platelet-rich plasma containing growth factors is prepared later on.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
Under local anaesthetic, a small amount of adipose tissue — roughly 30 ml — is removed through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh, with no stitches needed.
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
The doctor injects the prepared material directly into the affected joint, using ultrasound to place it precisely.
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
Check-ups after the procedure show the doctor how the joint responds, so the plan can be adjusted — typically pain eases in the first month, mobility improves within 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?
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.
Is the treatment safe?
The risk of rejection or allergy is very low, since both methods use your own tissue. Like any injection, they can cause temporary pain, swelling or bruising, while infection happens rarely. At the consultation the doctor explains what the risks are for you.
How long does the effect last?
It depends. PRP usually gives an effect lasting from several months to about a year; with SVF it can last longer. Because the stage of the condition and your body affect the duration, no one can promise a fixed result.
Who should not have the procedure?
Cancer, acute infections, blood clotting disorders, pregnancy and a flare-up of a serious chronic illness all rule the procedure out. The doctor checks this at the consultation.
Is it possible to treat hip osteoarthritis (coxarthrosis) without surgery?
In the early stages, PRP or SVF injections together with exercise therapy and physiotherapy can ease pain and improve movement. If the joint is already severely damaged, a replacement may be the more realistic choice — the doctor will tell you honestly once they have seen your scans.
Can avascular necrosis of the hip be treated?
Stages 1–2 are early enough for SVF therapy to be considered, supporting blood supply to the femoral head and delaying joint replacement. At later stages, surgery is usually unavoidable.
Why try to avoid joint replacement?
Joint replacement involves major surgery and a long rehabilitation, carries risks such as infection, and the implants may eventually have to be redone. With changes that are early or moderate, trying to preserve your own joint first often makes sense.
Can I get a second opinion on my scans?
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.
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?
The doctor first establishes what is causing the pain: PRP is used for shoulder joint and rotator cuff problems, and SVF may be considered for more advanced arthritis of the shoulder. Suitability depends on that cause.

Joint treatment in Surat: what you should know
SVF and PRP work in different ways. PRP helps calm inflammation and creates better conditions for repair; SVF contains cells involved in tissue repair and is chosen when changes are more pronounced. For patients from Surat, the doctor often combines the two.
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 Surat.
To get started, send your scans or book a visit. Patients from Surat receive a free review, a clear answer on whether treatment is suitable, and the price for their case.
