Stem Cell Therapy for Back Pain in Seoul

Nanoori Stem Cell Center, Gangnam

Low back pain can drain energy, limit work, and block training. At Nanoori Stem Cell Center in Gangnam, Seoul, our orthopedic team offers stem cell–assisted regenerative care for select spine-related conditions—paired with targeted rehab—to reduce pain, improve function, and help you move with confidence.

Who This Is For

  • Facet joint pain (facet arthropathy) causing localized low-back ache
  • Disc-related pain (annular tears, early degenerative disc changes) without severe nerve compression
  • Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction with sitting/standing discomfort
  • Post-strain or post-procedure pain that persists despite basic therapy
    (Severe nerve compression, instability, or red-flag symptoms may require different care.)

What We Do (Case-By-Case)

  • Autologous cell concentrates (bone-marrow– or adipose-derived) prepared in a sterile workflow
  • Biologic adjuncts (e.g., PRP/PRF) when appropriate
  • Image-guided injections (fluoroscopy/ultrasound) to the target pain generator: facet, SI, disc perimeter, or supporting ligaments
  • Integrated spine rehab tailored to your imaging and movement patterns

How Treatment Works

  1. Orthopedic & Spine Evaluation
    History, exam, and review of MRI/X-ray to identify the pain source (facet vs disc vs SI).
  2. Personalized Plan
    Confirm candidacy for regenerative therapy or advise alternative options if better.
  3. Harvest → Processing → Targeted Injection
    Same-day procedure with local anesthesia or light sedation.
  4. Rehab & Habit Coaching
    Core stabilization, hip mobility, posture/ergonomics, graded activity, and sleep strategies.

Expected Timeline (Typical)

  • Weeks 0–2: Soreness settles; gentle mobility and core activation begin
  • Weeks 3–8: Reduced pain spikes; improved sitting/standing tolerance
  • Months 3–6: Strength, endurance, and function gains; return to sport/work tasks
    Timelines vary by diagnosis, severity, and adherence to rehab.

Advantages vs. Conventional Care

  • Treats the pain generator (facet/SI/disc perimeter) under precise imaging
  • May reduce reliance on repeated steroid injections
  • Hospital setting with sterile processing and monitoring
  • Program combines biologics and spine-specific rehab for durability

Safety & Considerations

  • Temporary soreness/bruising at harvest or injection sites is common
  • Not suitable for advanced instability, major herniation with progressive weakness, or urgent red-flags
  • Outcomes depend on diagnosis accuracy, body mechanics, and rehab compliance
  • All procedures are doctor-supervised in a hospital environment

What to Bring

  • Recent MRI/X-ray and prior procedure notes (if any)
  • Work/sport demands and travel dates
  • A list of medications and supplements

FAQ

Will this fix a herniated disc?
It can help selected disc-related pain, but significant nerve compression may need different interventions. Your plan is individualized after imaging review.

How many sessions do I need?
Many patients complete 1 procedure plus structured rehab; complex cases may need staged care.

When can I exercise?
Light mobility and core work begin early. Loading and sport are phased in under guidance.
