ARTHRITIS arthritis
Joint pain that won't go away no matter what you do
Have you given up, thinking, "It might stay like this forever?"
Conventional treatments focus on symptomatic treatment with painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
However, these treatments have limitations:
- Taking medicines doesn't really improve the condition
- Recurring symptoms
- Concerns about side effects from long-term use
It is for people like this that we want them to know about the true cause of chronic inflammation and new options available through regenerative medicine.
Do you have any concerns?
issues like these?
- Stiffness in the joints when waking up in the morning
- Knee pain when going up and down stairs
- Unable to sit upright, and crouching is painful
- It's getting hard to go shopping
- Giving up on favorite exercise or hobbies
- The good days don't continue
(I can't enjoy concerts or theater) - Bad weather makes my joints hurt
- Pain that doesn't go away even after taking medicine
- I don't want surgery, but I don't see any other options.
If any of these apply to you, please feel free to contact us.
There are various types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout/pseudogout, and septic arthritis, but what they all have in common is the reaction called "inflammation."
Why does arthritis become chronic?
The root cause of chronic joint pain is chronic inflammation.
In a healthy body, when joint pain occurs, the body naturally repairs itself through the following process:
The repair process from the onset of arthritis to the resolution of pain
-
Inflammation occurs(Indicate the damaged area)
-
Stops bleeding(Platelets seal the wound)
-
Macrophages
Broken cells and bacteria
Clean up
-
Macrophages
From cleaning to repairing
Switch to a helping role
-
This is importantStem cells
Create a new organization(Stem cells gather from various places)
-
Cells cooperate with each other(Information exchange through exosomes)
-
Completely healed(Tissue regeneration completed)
However, if chronic inflammation continues, this repair process stops at the fourth stage.
At this time, macrophages, immune cells in the body, become important.
Macrophages typically perform the following functions:
The two roles of macrophages
Cleaner
Removes bacteria and broken cells from inflamed areas
Restoration Support
Promotes tissue repair and supports stem cell mobilization
This "switching" of roles is key to the body's ability to heal properly.
However, when chronic inflammation continues, macrophages remain in their cleaning role and do not switch over to assist in repair, which results in stem cells (cells that regenerate tissue) not functioning properly and preventing the tissues in the lower back from repairing.
This is the real cause of "arthritis that won't go away no matter what you do."
Conventional treatments (painkillers, compresses, injections, etc.) do not address the underlying cause of chronic inflammation, so even if they temporarily relieve pain, the same symptoms will recur.
"Cell Revival®" targets
Symptoms and diseases
The body is naturally equipped with an amazing recovery mechanism, but as chronic inflammation progresses due to various external factors such as aging and lifestyle habits, this mechanism weakens.
Cell Revival® is a treatment method unique to our hospital that combines three regenerative medical therapies. By gradually combining macrophage therapy, stem cell therapy, PRP therapy, and iPS exosome therapy, we maximize the therapeutic effect.
First, we accurately assess the body's condition and create a repair environment within the body before beginning stem cell therapy. This fundamental approach maximizes the body's innate ability to recover.
PHASES
Visualizing chronic inflammation
- Inflammation levels are quantified using inflammatory marker tests (high-sensitivity CRP, IL-1β, IL-6, TNFα)
- EpiClock test measures the effects of inflammation on cells
- Developing a treatment plan based on objective data
In macrophages
Creating a recovery environment
- Calms chronic inflammation
- Creating a work environment that is conducive to regenerative medicine
Stem cell therapy for recovery
Facilitate
- Stem cells are administered into a controlled environment
- If necessary, PRP therapy and iPS exosome therapy may be used in combination.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does regenerative medicine for arthritis really work? How does it differ from other treatments?
Unlike conventional symptomatic treatments, Cell Revival® is a treatment that addresses the root cause of chronic inflammation.
Differences from conventional treatment:
- Painkillers and compresses: only temporarily suppress symptoms
- Hyaluronic acid injections: Provides lubrication to joints but does not repair tissue
- Surgery: requires hospitalization and places a heavy burden on the body
- Cell Revival®: Improves chronic inflammation and regenerates tissue. Treatment can be performed on an outpatient basis, no hospitalization required.At our clinic, we use inflammatory marker tests to quantify the effects and objectively confirm improvement. Most patients improve their joints within 3-6 months.
They have experienced improved movement and reduced pain. -
How long will the treatment take? Will I need to take time off work?
Estimated treatment period: - Initial examination and consultation: 1 day - Macrophage therapy (pretreatment): 2-4 weeks - Stem cell culture: 3-4 weeks - Total: Approximately 2-3 months Impact on work: - At the time of collection: Local anesthesia is used, and normal activities can be carried out from the same day - After treatment: No hospitalization required, and patients can return to work the next day - Regular visits to the hospital: Approximately 1-2 times a month Many patients continue working while receiving treatment.
-
Are there any age restrictions? Can elderly people receive treatment?
Cell Revival® has no upper age limit, as long as you are over 20 years old. There is also a proven track record of treating many people over 80 years old. Consideration for the elderly: - Cell function is restored regardless of age using culture technology - Treatment methods that place less strain on the body are selected - Treatment plans tailored to each individual's physical strength In fact, the older you are, the more advanced your chronic inflammation becomes, so you tend to be more likely to feel the effects of Cell Revival®.
-
Are there any side effects or risks? Is it safe?
Cell Revival® is a safe treatment that uses your own cells, with an extremely low risk of rejection. Our commitment to safety: - Only cells that meet strict quality control standards are used - Cells are processed in a clean bench using specialized devices to prevent bacterial contamination - A team medical system with specialists in various fields - Safety is confirmed in advance through cancer cell testing Minor side effects: - Temporary swelling and pain at the extraction site - Mild swelling at the injection site (resolves in 2-3 days) No serious side effects have been reported.
-
Is insurance applicable? What is the approximate cost of treatment?
Unfortunately, regenerative medicine is currently not covered by insurance and is therefore not an option. Regarding costs: - Varies depending on symptoms and scope of treatment - Detailed estimates will be provided during the initial consultation (3,500 yen) - Installment payment options are also available. Regarding medical expense deductions: - Annual medical expenses over 10 yen can be deducted through tax returns - Treatment costs, testing costs, and transportation costs to hospitals are also covered - Please keep receipts safe. We will first propose a treatment plan tailored to your symptoms via a free email consultation. *Please consult with a tax accountant for details.
