Stem Cell Therapy for Autoimmune Diseases in Seoul

Nanoori Stem Cell Center, Gangnam

Autoimmune conditions can affect joints, tendons, skin, nerves, and energy—often in cycles of flares and remission. You may have seen claims about stem cell therapy for autoimmune diseases. At Nanoori Stem Cell Center, our core specialty is orthopedic regenerative care for musculoskeletal problems. For systemic autoimmune diseases, cell therapy is investigational and not a routine service. We focus on safe, hospital-based evaluation, musculoskeletal optimization, and coordinated care with rheumatology, dermatology, neurology, and immunology partners.

Straight talk: We do not offer unregulated “IV stem cell” infusions for autoimmune diseases. Any cell-based therapy must occur within approved clinical protocols under the appropriate specialty team.

Who This Is For

Patients with autoimmune diagnoses who have joint/tendon pain limiting movement (e.g., RA, PsA, axial spondyloarthritis)
Individuals seeking evidence-based care first, with honest discussion about research options if appropriate
International visitors who want coordinated, hospital-standard care in Gangnam

What We Do (At Nanoori, Case-By-Case)

Orthopedic evaluation & imaging to pinpoint pain generators (knee/hip/shoulder/ankle/spine) that block healthy activity
Regenerative orthopedics (when appropriate): targeted autologous musculoskeletal procedures for joints/tendons/ligaments (not systemic immune disease)
Rehab & load management: gait retraining, bracing/insoles, joint-smart strength programs to support daily function
Care coordination: fast referrals to rheumatology/immunology for diagnosis confirmation, disease-modifying therapy, and flare control; dermatology/neurology as indicated
Wellness supports (non-cell): sleep plan, graded activity, nutrition basics; optional non-cell wellness IV after screening

What We Do Not Offer

No “stem cell cures” for autoimmune disease
No unregulated IV infusions or non-standard systemic injections
No replacement for disease-modifying therapies (DMARDs/biologics) or guideline-based care

Conditions We Commonly Co-Manage (Musculoskeletal Focus)

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with secondary tendinopathy or early cartilage wear
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and enthesitis impacting activity
Axial spondyloarthritis / ankylosing spondylitis with flare-related back/SI pain (non-urgent cases)
Connective tissue disease–related joint pain where movement re-training is key
(Systemic organ involvement is managed by the appropriate specialty first.)

Your Care Pathway

Screening & Goal Setting – History, meds (DMARDs/biologics), recent labs/imaging; flare pattern and functional goals
Orthopedic Plan – Confirm candidacy for local musculoskeletal treatment or alternatives; begin load-smart rehab
Specialty Coordination – Rheumatology review for disease control; align timing of ortho care with flare status/medications
Follow-Up & Prevention – Track pain/function, step counts, flare triggers, and recovery routines; share records for continuity if you’re traveling

Expected Timeline (Typical)

Weeks 1–4: Fewer pain spikes; walking/ADLs become easier with tailored rehab
Weeks 4–12: Strength and movement patterns improve; better sleep/energy routines
Months 3–6: More durable function with flare-aware training and medical control
Outcomes depend on disease activity, alignment/biomechanics, and adherence to rehab and medical therapy.

Safety & Considerations

Hospital standards with doctor-supervised workflows
Temporary soreness/bruising can occur after orthopedic injections
Active, uncontrolled flares, infection, fever, or red-flag symptoms must be managed by the specialty team first
Medication timing (e.g., biologics) and immunosuppression are coordinated with rheumatology before any procedures

FAQ

Can stem cells replace my autoimmune medications?
No. Disease control relies on guideline-based therapy (DMARDs/biologics). Our role is musculoskeletal function and safe coordination.

Do you offer IV stem cells for autoimmunity?
No. We do not perform unregulated systemic infusions. Any cell-based systemic therapy must be part of approved clinical studies and specialty-led.

Can I start while visiting Seoul?
Yes. We can evaluate, begin an orthopedic/rehab plan, and coordinate specialty appointments with a travel-friendly follow-up guide.
