Stem Cell Joint Regeneration in Seoul   

Overview

For patients with early arthritis, cartilage wear, or post-injury joint pain, Nucellin Stem Cell Clinic offers a non-surgical joint regeneration program. This protocol combines cell-free, stem-cell–derived components (exosome/growth-factor complexes) with ultrasound-guided intra- or peri-articular injections and structured rehabilitation to help calm inflammation, support cartilage health, and improve mobility—without surgery or long downtime.


Regulatory note: All biologics used are cell-free (no live stem cells). Product/device selection follows Korean regulations and physician discretion.

Ideal Candidates

  • Early to moderate knee or hip osteoarthritis (grades I–II)
  • Cartilage thinning in ankle, shoulder, or wrist joints
  • Post-traumatic joint pain after sports injuries or meniscus surgery
  • Activity-related joint discomfort when conservative care plateaued
Not intended for complete joint collapse or severe deformity requiring surgical replacement.

How It Works (Clinic Protocol)

  1. Orthopedic Consult & Imaging – exam with ultrasound ± X-ray/MRI to confirm diagnosis and grade.
  2. Personalized Regenerative Plan – choose exosome/growth-factor complex; decide on ultrasound-guided intra- or peri-articular injections ± micro-needling of soft tissue when indicated.
  3. Targeted Delivery – under ultrasound, low-volume micro-deposits into joint space or around capsule to signal tissue repair and modulate inflammation.
  4. Rehab Integration – joint-specific physio program (isometrics → strength → proprioception) plus load management.
  5. Review & Boosters – reassess at 4–6 weeks; repeat injection if indicated.

Treatment Options

  • Ultrasound-Guided Intra-Articular Regeneration – for knee, shoulder, ankle, hip
  • Peri-Ligament / Soft Tissue Injections – when capsule or entheses involved
  • Staged Combo Plan: regenerative injection plus PRP, hyaluronic acid, or shockwave as indicated
  • Adjuncts: bracing, orthotics, activity modification, nutritional support

Session, Course & Downtime

  • In-clinic: ~40–60 minutes (including ultrasound)
  • After: relative rest 48–72 hrs; gentle range of motion encouraged
  • Series: typically 2–3 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart
  • Rehab: progressive loading and physiotherapy over 6–10+ weeks

Expected Benefits

  • Reduced pain, swelling, and stiffness over weeks
  • Improved range of motion and function
  • Support for cartilage health and periarticular tissues during rehab
  • Typical functional gains accumulate over 6–12+ weeks

FAQ

Does this replace joint replacement surgery?
Not for advanced arthritis. For early to moderate degeneration, regenerative + rehab may reduce pain and improve function without surgery.

How many sessions will I need?
Most patients improve with 2–3 sessions plus a 6–10 week rehab program.

How soon will I feel relief?
Many feel decreased pain and improved motion over weeks; cartilage support and stability gains build over 6–12+ weeks.

Are these live stem cells?
No. We use cell-free, stem-cell–inspired components (exosomes/growth factors) compliant with Korean regulations.
