Stem cell joint care in Bangkok

Rheumatoid arthritis

Understanding this condition is the first step towards a personal care plan.

What it is

About rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that can cause swollen, tender joints and prolonged stiffness, often affecting several joints.

Assessment and care

Early assessment and specialist rheumatology care matter. Medicines that control the condition are central to care; a joint procedure does not replace them.

Seek urgent medical help for a hot, swollen joint with fever, sudden severe pain or inability to bear weight, or new weakness, numbness, or bladder or bowel changes.

Bangkok has established rheumatology services, and the medical team reviews your diagnosis, current medicines and disease control before any joint procedure is considered.

  • Bring your records: keep your existing medicines and specialist letters with you when travelling.
  • Condition control first: an uncontrolled inflammatory condition changes what is appropriate.
  • Coordinated care: stem cell therapy does not replace rheumatology care, and decisions are coordinated with your treating specialist at home.

Planning a visit from abroad? Three things help:

  • Where we are: central Bangkok, near BTS Ekkamai.
  • Before you travel: you can share your records and imaging with the medical team.
  • Around your stay: we help you plan assessment, any agreed treatment and follow-up.

Your care options

Where does stem cell therapy fit?

  • Not automatic: having joint pain does not automatically mean stem cell therapy is suitable. Our medical team reviews your diagnosis, records and previous care before discussing whether it may be considered.
  • Ask questions: about alternatives, possible risks, costs and follow-up.
  • Keep expectations realistic: no specific result can be promised, and stem cell therapy does not replace specialist care for an underlying condition.
