Stem Cell Therapy for Neuropathy in Seoul

Nanoori Stem Cell Center, Gangnam

Nerve pain—burning, tingling, numbness—can limit walking, sleep, and confidence. You may have seen “stem cell” claims for neuropathy. At Nanoori Stem Cell Center, our core specialty is orthopedic regenerative care (joints, tendons, ligaments, selected spine issues). For peripheral neuropathy, cell therapy is investigational and not a routine clinical service. We focus on safe evaluation, musculoskeletal optimization, and coordinated care with neurology, pain medicine, endocrinology, and vascular partners.


Straight talk: We do not offer unregulated “IV stem cell drips” or non-standard nerve injections. Any cell-based neuropathy therapy must occur within approved clinical protocols under the appropriate specialty team.

Who This Is For

  • Patients with diabetic or idiopathic neuropathy who also have pain-limited mobility
  • Individuals with radiculopathy-like symptoms where spine, SI, or facet pain may contribute
  • People seeking evidence-based care first, with honest guidance about research options if appropriate
  • International visitors wanting coordinated, hospital-based planning in Seoul

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

  • Orthopedic & spine evaluation to identify mechanical pain generators (facet/SI/disc perimeter, entrapment around tendons) that worsen neuropathic symptoms
  • Regenerative orthopedics (musculoskeletal only): image-guided procedures for joints/tendons/ligaments and select spine pain—not systemic neuropathy
  • Load-smart rehab: gait retraining, footwear/insoles, strength for distal control and balance
  • Care coordination: fast referrals to neurology (diagnostics, meds), endocrinology (glucose control), vascular (circulation), pain medicine (nerve-focused protocols)

What We Do Not Offer

  • No “stem cell cures” for neuropathy
  • No unregulated IV infusions or non-standard nerve injections
  • No replacement for guideline-based neuropathy management (glycemic, vascular, nutritional, neurologic care)

Coordinated, Evidence-Based Options (Specialist-Led)

  • Diagnostics: nerve conduction studies/EMG, labs for reversible causes (B12, thyroid, toxins), vascular assessment
  • Medications: neuropathic pain agents per neurology/pain medicine
  • Lifestyle & risk control: glucose/BP/lipids, smoking/alcohol moderation, sleep and nutrition
  • Physical therapy: balance, proprioception, fall-prevention strategies
  • Procedures (when indicated): targeted injections, neuromodulation—specialist led
  • Research pathways: discussion of investigational cell-based options only within regulated trials

Your Care Pathway

  1. Screening & Goal Setting – History, meds, prior imaging/labs; map neuropathic vs mechanical pain.
  2. Ortho/Spine Plan – Address musculoskeletal pain to enable safe walking and sleep.
  3. Specialty Coordination – Neurology/endocrinology/vascular referrals; align therapies and timelines.
  4. Follow-Up & Prevention – Track pain, steps, balance, footwear wear-patterns; adjust loading and habits.

Expected Timeline (Typical)

  • Weeks 1–4: Calmer mechanical pain; safer walking routine begins
  • Weeks 4–12: Strength/balance gains; fewer nighttime flares with sleep hygiene
  • Months 3–6: More durable function with coordinated medical control
    Results depend on neuropathy type, glucose/vascular status, biomechanics, and adherence.

Safety & Considerations

  • Hospital standards with doctor-supervised workflows
  • Temporary soreness/bruising can occur after orthopedic procedures
  • Red flags (rapid weakness, bowel/bladder changes, foot ulcers, infection, severe ischemic pain) require urgent specialty care
  • Medication timing and comorbidities are coordinated with neurology/endocrinology before any procedures

FAQ

Can stem cells reverse neuropathy?
No established cure. Management focuses on cause control (e.g., diabetes), nerve-pain medications, and function. Any cell-based approach is research-only.

Do you inject stem cells into nerves?
No. We do not perform unregulated nerve injections or IV infusions. Our role is musculoskeletal optimization and coordination with specialists.

Can I start during a short visit to Seoul?
Yes. We can evaluate, begin an orthopedic plan, and coordinate neurology and vascular appointments with a travel-friendly follow-up guide.
