Stem Cell for Internal Medicine & Chronic Conditions in Seoul

Nanoori Stem Cell Center, Gangnam

Living with chronic conditions—diabetes, hypertension, thyroid or kidney issues, COPD, autoimmune disease—often means fatigue, pain, and limited activity. You may see online claims about “stem cells” for whole-body healing. At Nanoori Stem Cell Center, our specialty is orthopedic regenerative care (joints, tendons, ligaments, select spine). For internal-medicine conditions, stem-cell therapy is investigational and not a routine clinical service here. We focus on safe, hospital-based evaluation, movement-first pain relief, and coordinated care with internal-medicine and subspecialist partners.


Straight talk: We do not offer unregulated “IV stem cell drips” for chronic diseases. Any systemic cell-based option must occur only within approved clinical protocols led by the relevant specialty.

Who This Is For

  • Adults with chronic conditions whose joint/back pain blocks walking, rehab, and weight/sleep goals
  • Patients seeking evidence-based, hospital-coordinated care without exaggerated claims
  • International visitors who want a realistic plan they can continue at home

Conditions We Commonly Co-Manage (with Specialty Partners)

  • Metabolic & Endocrine: diabetes/insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, thyroid disorders
  • Cardiovascular: hypertension, dyslipidemia (activity & weight support; medical management by IM/cardiology)
  • Renal & Hepatic: CKD/AKI recovery, fatty liver/NASH (nephrology/hepatology)
  • Pulmonary: COPD/asthma (pulmonology)
  • Rheumatologic/Autoimmune: RA, PsA, axial spondyloarthritis (rheumatology)
  • Neurologic: neuropathy support (neurology)

We treat the musculoskeletal barriers to activity and coordinate specialty care for the chronic condition itself.

What We Do (Nanoori-Led, Case-by-Case)

  • Orthopedic Optimization – Image-guided evaluation; targeted, autologous musculoskeletal procedures when appropriate (not systemic infusions)
  • Rehab & Load Management – Gait retraining, joint unloading, strength blocks, balance/fall prevention
  • Lifestyle Stack (Non-Cell) – Sleep reset, pacing, step goals, joint-safe conditioning; practical travel-friendly nutrition guidance
  • Specialist Coordination – Fast referrals to internal medicine, endocrinology, cardiology, nephrology, hepatology, pulmonology, rheumatology, neurology as needed
  • Records & Roadmap – Clear handoff notes and milestones you can continue at home

What We Do Not Offer

  • No “stem cell cures” for chronic diseases
  • No unregulated IV infusions or non-standard systemic injections
  • No replacement for guideline-based medical therapy (medications, monitoring, procedures)

Your Coordinated Care Pathway

  1. Screening & Baseline – History, meds, vitals; review any labs/imaging you bring; pain & mobility map
  2. Ortho Plan – Confirm candidacy for local musculoskeletal treatment vs alternatives; start a joint-smart rehab plan
  3. Specialty Alignment – Connect with the right internal-medicine subspecialists; synchronize timing with our rehab
  4. Follow-Up & Prevention – Track pain/function, steps, sleep, and weight/waist or BP logs; adjust loads and habits

Expected Timeline (Typical)

  • Weeks 1–4: Fewer pain spikes; consistent walking and sleep cues begin
  • Weeks 4–12: Strength and endurance improve; easier adherence to medical plans
  • Months 3–6: More durable function and energy with coordinated specialty care
    Results vary by diagnosis, disease control, biomechanics, and adherence.

Safety & Considerations

  • Hospital standards with doctor-supervised workflows
  • Temporary soreness/bruising may occur after orthopedic procedures
  • Red flags (fever, chest pain, shortness of breath, neurologic changes, rapid swelling/weight gain) → urgent specialty/ER care
  • Medication timing (anticoagulants, immunomodulators) is coordinated with your specialists before any procedures

FAQ

Do you use stem cells to treat chronic diseases directly?
No. Systemic use is investigational. We deliver local musculoskeletal care and coordinate guideline-based internal-medicine management.

Will pain relief really help my chronic condition?
Yes—less pain enables consistent activity, sleep, and weight/BP/glucose routines, which support long-term disease control.

Can I start during a short visit to Seoul?
Yes. We can complete screening, begin the orthopedic/rehab plan, and coordinate specialty consults with a take-home roadmap.
