    Non-Surgical Treatment for Joint Pain

    Many orthopaedic conditions that are commonly treated with surgery, cortisone injections or long-term medication can be effectively managed with non-surgical regenerative treatments. At CellOrtho, our PRP therapy works by supporting the body's own biological capacity for repair and recovery, targeting the underlying cause of pain rather than simply masking symptoms.

    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.

    In many cases, yes. Non-surgical orthobiologic treatments such as PRP therapy are designed to support the body's natural repair processes. Many of our patients come to us after being told surgery was their only remaining option, although suitability always depends on the individual case.

    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 in clinic 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.

    There is no surgical downtime. Most patients walk out and resume light daily activity the same day. Return to sport is usually gradual over a few weeks and depends on the joint treated and the severity of the condition. We provide individual aftercare guidance for every patient.

    Some conditions respond well to a single session, while degenerative joint conditions often benefit from a course of two or three sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Your recommended plan is discussed and priced before you commit to anything.

    Biological treatments work gradually. Many patients report changes in pain and function within four to eight weeks, with continued improvement over three to six months as tissue repair processes progress. Results vary between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.

    Yes. If pain affects several areas, for example both knees or a knee and a hip, these can often be addressed within the same visit or combined into a single protocol. This is particularly useful for patients travelling to Marbella for treatment.

    Age alone is not a barrier and we treat patients well into their seventies and eighties. Very advanced end-stage joint destruction responds less predictably, and in those cases we will tell you honestly if we do not believe treatment is likely to help.

    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 so that treatment can be planned before you travel, and most protocols are completed within a short stay.

    Book a free video consultation with our medical team. We review your symptoms and any imaging, explain which options may be appropriate for your condition, and set out the expected timeline and costs before anything is scheduled.

    Not Sure Which Condition Applies to You?

    If you are not sure which area to select, or if your pain affects multiple areas, our medical team can help. A free video consultation with Dr. Arvin Yarollahi will allow us to understand your symptoms, review any relevant investigations and recommend the most appropriate treatment pathway for your specific situation.
