Learn moreNon-Surgical Treatment for Joint Pain
Management of joint pain depends on the diagnosis, symptoms and individual goals. Options include rehabilitation, exercise, activity modification, medication and injections, including PRP in some cases. Surgery may be appropriate when indicated. Information about treatment options can inform discussion with the doctor. PRP is prepared from a sample of the patient's own blood; evidence differs between conditions and suitability is assessed individually. The consultation considers risks, limitations and previous treatment before a plan is agreed.
We treat conditions affecting the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, back, foot, ankle, hand and wrist. Suitability for treatment depends on the specific condition, its severity and the patient's overall health - and is always determined through a thorough medical assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this treatment
We treat orthopaedic and musculoskeletal conditions across the knee, shoulder, hip, back, neck, elbow, foot, ankle, hand and wrist. This includes osteoarthritis, tendon injuries such as tennis elbow and Achilles tendinopathy, rotator cuff problems, plantar fasciitis, disc-related back pain and chronic sports injuries.
Options include physiotherapy, exercise-based rehabilitation, activity modification, medication and injections. PRP may be considered in some cases, but evidence differs between conditions. PRP is not a proven way to prevent surgery and is not a substitute for surgery when surgery is indicated.
The right protocol depends on the joint involved, the severity of the damage, your age, activity level and treatment goals. Dr. Arvin Yarollahi reviews your history and any scans during a free video consultation and then recommends the most appropriate pathway.
Recent imaging is helpful because it allows us to confirm the diagnosis and grade the condition before recommending a treatment. If you do not have a recent scan, we can arrange diagnostic imaging in Marbella, including MRI, as part of your assessment.
Most procedures are performed as outpatient appointments under local anaesthetic where needed. A PRP session typically takes around 30 minutes from arrival to leaving. Mild soreness in the treated area for a few days afterwards is common and usually settles on its own.
Recovery depends on the procedure, the condition and individual circumstances. Return to work, everyday activities and sport is discussed after assessment. We provide individual aftercare advice, including any activity restrictions, rehabilitation requirements and follow-up appointments.
If a treatment is considered, the number of sessions is agreed individually after assessment. The proposed plan, any follow-up appointments, potential risks and costs are explained before you decide whether to proceed.
Response and timing vary by diagnosis and individual. Improvement, if it occurs, may develop over weeks or months; some patients do not experience meaningful benefit. Your clinician will discuss expectations and follow-up.
If pain affects several areas, for example both knees or a knee and a hip, each area needs assessment. Whether treatment can be scheduled together depends on the diagnoses, proposed procedures and individual risks. Timing and follow-up are agreed individually.
Age alone is not a barrier to assessment. Suitability depends on the condition, its severity, overall health and individual goals. Advanced arthritis may require a surgical opinion; the doctor explains the options and limitations relevant to your circumstances.
Yes. A large proportion of our patients travel from other parts of Spain, the UK and northern Europe. Assessment starts with a free video consultation to discuss your symptoms and the assessment needed before any treatment is planned. Travel and follow-up arrangements depend on the individual care plan.
