What is regenerative
joint treatment?

Regenerative care for joints is based on your own material. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is obtained from blood, and the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from a small amount of adipose tissue; the doctor then injects it into the affected joint to reduce pain and inflammation and to support its internal 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.

Joints we treat

Large and small joints — the doctor chooses the joint, the method and the number of injections after reviewing your scans

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.

Doctors tend to choose it when the joint shows more pronounced changes and a more durable effect is wanted.

PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood

Platelet- and growth-factor-rich plasma is obtained from a little of your blood and injected into the joint, where it helps calm inflammation and improves the conditions for tissue repair.

It can be given as its own 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

Blood is taken from a vein in a small amount, and it is later used to prepare platelet-rich plasma with growth factors.
 
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.

Adipose tissue sample

Under local anaesthetic, a small portion of adipose tissue (about 30 ml) is taken through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh. No stitches are needed.

Processing in a centrifuge

A centrifuge splits the sample into layers. From these, the stromal vascular fraction is isolated and blended with the platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.

Injection into the joint

Under ultrasound guidance, the ready material goes directly into the affected joint, so it can be placed accurately.

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

Recovery is short: most people go home the same day and are back to normal daily activity within a day or two, and the puncture sites only need small dressings. A slight increase in joint ache during the first week is an expected reaction. Typically pain eases over the first month, mobility and activity improve over about three months, and the full effect develops over around six months. How long it lasts varies with the person, the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors — no one can promise a fixed result. For the first weeks the doctor gives you individual advice on exercise and load.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions

Joint treatment in Visakhapatnam: from scan review to follow-up

The method relies on your own tissue only, so there is no donor or synthetic material. Plasma is prepared from a small blood sample, and SVF from about 30 ml of adipose tissue taken through a puncture. This is how non-surgical joint treatment works for everyone in Visakhapatnam.

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 Visakhapatnam, everything is done in one day.

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 Visakhapatnam. Leave your name and phone number, and a coordinator will contact you.
