Arthrosis Treatment in Algiers Without Surgery

It is the gradual wearing of the cartilage covering the ends of the bones in a joint. As the cartilage thins, the joint loses its cushioning; the bones rub together, and pain, stiffness and crunching develop. The condition is degenerative rather than inflammatory.

In many cases it can be, provided treatment starts in time. The goal of SVF and PRP injections is to ease pain and support cartilage without an operation; replacing the joint is the last resort once it is destroyed.

Around 2–3 weeks after the procedure, many patients feel the first changes. A stable result builds over about six months and lasts from several months to several years, which varies individually. Since osteoarthritis is chronic, a single injection is not enough — it needs an ongoing plan.

It works at early and moderate stages: a milder stage usually means a faster and more durable effect and may reduce the need for regular hyaluronic acid injections. At the most advanced stage, with the joint space almost gone, you cannot expect a lasting effect.

The most heavily loaded joints: the knees, hips and ankles, plus the small joints of the hand and the spine. Regenerative treatment is used for all of them.

In most cases it progresses: the pain becomes constant, movement narrows, the joint may deform and walking can get difficult. A real difference comes from early diagnosis, weight control, exercise and working with a doctor.

The main method is an X-ray, which shows the stage. MRI gives a detailed picture of cartilage and soft tissues, ultrasound reveals inflammation and fluid in the joint, and blood tests help exclude inflammatory conditions. If you already have results, the doctor can review them free of charge.

Osteoarthritis is wear of the cartilage: aching pain on movement, crunching, stiffness after rest. Arthritis is inflammation: pain at rest and at night, swelling, redness and warmth over the joint. The approach to treatment differs, so the diagnosis comes first.

Yes — a doctor will review your X-rays, MRI or test results free of charge after you send them, assess the stage of osteoarthritis and suggest a non-surgical plan where it is appropriate.

Yes, and it helps. Well-chosen activity strengthens the muscles that unload the joint, improves the cartilage's nutrition and keeps you mobile. Swimming, water aerobics, cycling, Nordic walking and yoga work well, while running on hard surfaces, jumping, heavy lifting and sudden movements are best avoided.
