Stem Cell Regenerative Orthopedics in Seoul
Overview
Nucellin Stem Cell Clinic provides regenerative orthopedics for patients with joint pain, tendinopathy, and sprain-related instability. We pair cell-free, stem-cell–derived components (exosome/growth-factor complexes) with ultrasound-guided injections and structured physiotherapy to reduce pain, support collagen/cartilage health, and restore function—without surgery and with minimal downtime.
Regulatory note: All biologics are cell-free (no live stem cells). Product/device selection follows Korean regulations and physician judgment.
Conditions We Treat (Assessment Required)
- Joints: early knee/hip osteoarthritis, shoulder/ankle/wrist cartilage wear, post-injury joint pain
- Tendons: rotator cuff, biceps, tennis/golfer’s elbow, patellar, Achilles, gluteal, plantar fascia
- Ligaments: ankle ATFL/CFL, knee MCL/LCL (partial), elbow UCL (grade I–II)
- Spine (select cases): disc-related neck/low-back pain without red flags
Not intended for complete ruptures, severe deformity, unstable fractures, or advanced end-stage arthritis.
How It Works (Clinic Protocol)
- Ortho Consult & Imaging – focused exam with diagnostic ultrasound ± X-ray/MRI review.
- Personalized Plan – exosome/growth-factor selection; choose ultrasound-guided intra-/peri-articular or peritendon/periligament injections; bracing/taping if needed.
- Targeted Delivery – low-volume micro-deposits to modulate inflammation and signal tissue remodeling.
- Rehab Integration – phased program: pain control & isometrics → strength/eccentrics → proprioception & return-to-sport.
- Review & Boosters – follow-up at 4–6 weeks; repeat session if indicated; progress testing.
Treatment Tracks
- Joint Regeneration: intra-articular or pericapsular injections + load management
- Tendon Healing: peritendon injections ± fenestration; eccentric/HSR loading plan
- Ligament Repair: peri-ligament injections under ultrasound + stability/neuromuscular training
- Spine Support (select): peri-radicular or facet/pericapsular injections + core/mobility rehab
- Staged Combos (When Indicated): add PRP, shockwave, or dry needling in separate visits
Time, Course & Downtime
- In-clinic: ~40–70 minutes (includes ultrasound guidance)
- After: relative rest 48–72 hrs; graded activity per rehab plan
- Series: usually 2–3 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart (site/grade dependent)
- Rehab: 6–10+ weeks of progressive loading; return-to-sport testing where applicable
Expected Benefits
- Reduced pain and swelling over weeks
- Improved range, strength, and stability
- Support for collagen/cartilage remodeling alongside rehab
- Typical functional gains build over 6–12+ weeks

FAQ
Is this a substitute for surgery?
Not for complete tears or advanced degeneration. For partial injuries and early arthritis, regenerative + rehab may improve function without surgery.
How many sessions do I need?
Most improve with
2–3 sessions plus a
6–10 week rehab program.
Are these live stem cells?
No. We use
cell-free, stem-cell–inspired components (exosomes/growth factors) in compliance with Korean regulations.
