Osteoarthritis Treatment in Faridabad

Osteoarthritis is slow wear of the cartilage over the ends of the bones inside a joint. Thinner cartilage means less cushioning, so the bones rub and you get pain, stiffness and crunching. It is degenerative, not 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.

Many patients report the first changes 2–3 weeks after the procedure. A stable result develops over about six months and lasts from several months to several years depending on the individual. Because osteoarthritis is chronic, the approach is an ongoing plan rather than a single injection.

Early and moderate stages respond best. Generally, the milder the stage, the faster and longer-lasting the effect, which may cut the need for regular hyaluronic acid injections. When the joint space has almost disappeared at the most advanced stage, a lasting effect cannot be expected.

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.

The condition usually progresses. Pain becomes constant, movement becomes restricted, deformity of the joint may develop and walking can become difficult. Early diagnosis, exercise, weight control and working with a doctor do make a real difference.

X-ray is the main method and it shows the stage; MRI provides detail on the cartilage and soft tissues; ultrasound shows inflammation and joint fluid; blood tests help rule out inflammatory conditions. The doctor can review your existing results free of charge.

Osteoarthritis is wear of the cartilage, with aching pain on moving, crunching and stiffness after rest; arthritis is inflammation, with pain at rest and at night, swelling, redness and warmth over the joint. The treatment is not the same, so diagnosis must come first.

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.
