SVF and PRP for Osteoarthritis in Karol Bāgh

It means gradual wear of the cartilage on the ends of the bones in a joint. With thinning cartilage the joint loses cushioning, bones rub against each other and pain, stiffness and crunching set in — a degenerative, not an inflammatory, condition.

In many cases, yes — if treatment is not delayed. SVF and PRP injections aim to ease pain and support the cartilage without an operation. Joint replacement is the last option, for when the joint is already destroyed.

Early changes are noticed by many patients 2–3 weeks after the procedure. The result stabilises over about six months and can last several months to several years, depending on the individual. Osteoarthritis being chronic, it requires an ongoing plan, not a one-off injection.

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.

Joints under the greatest load — knees, hips and ankles — as well as the spine and the small joints of the hand. All of these joints are treated with regenerative methods.

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 — cartilage wear, aching pain during movement, crunching and stiffness after rest. Arthritis — inflammation, pain at rest and at night, swelling, redness and warmth over the joint. The approaches to treatment differ, so the first step is the diagnosis.

Yes. After you send X-rays, MRI or test results, a doctor reviews them free of charge, gauges the stage of osteoarthritis and proposes a non-surgical plan if it suits your case.

Definitely yes. The right kind of activity strengthens muscles that unload the joint, supports cartilage nutrition and preserves mobility. Pick swimming, water aerobics, cycling, Nordic walking or yoga; steer clear of running on hard surfaces, jumping, heavy lifting and sudden movements.
