Specialist Orthopaedic Care in Marbella
Orthopaedic Care for Joint Pain & Sports Injuries
A specialist assessment before any treatment decision
Chronic joint pain, tendon injuries and age-related wear do not always require surgery. At CellOrtho, a specialist in Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology assesses your condition and explains the options, including non-surgical approaches where clinically appropriate.
Options that may be discussed after assessment:
- Physiotherapy and rehabilitation, with partner providers where appropriate
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), where clinically appropriate
- Arthrosamid® for knee osteoarthritis
- A surgical opinion where surgery is indicated

Health Optimisation in Marbella
Alongside orthopaedic care, CellOrtho offers personalised health optimisation consultations, a medical assessment service designed to review relevant health markers and provide individual medical and lifestyle recommendations based on each patient's clinical circumstances, through a one-to-one consultation and a follow-up.
Led by Dr. Arvin Yarollahi, each consultation results in a personalised protocol covering supplement guidance and lifestyle recommendations, grounded in your individual biology, not generic advice. Blood testing can be arranged separately where clinically relevant.
