Living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be physically and emotionally exhausting. At Cellular Regeneration Clinic (CRC) in Tijuana, we offer advanced stem cell therapy as a non-surgical alternative to reduce joint pain, manage inflammation, and support long-term healing.

What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that primarily targets the joints but can affect various tissues and organs throughout the body. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies the body’s own cells—particularly the synovial membrane that lines the joints—as foreign and harmful. This leads to an inflammatory response that causes swelling, pain, stiffness, and eventually joint erosion and deformity.

RA most commonly affects the small joints in the hands, wrists, and feet, but larger joints like knees, elbows, and shoulders may also be involved. The condition is usually symmetrical, meaning it impacts both sides of the body equally. In severe cases, RA can also affect organs such as the heart, lungs, skin, and eyes.

Common symptoms include:

• Persistent joint pain and swelling
• Morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes
• Fatigue, fever, and unintended weight loss
• Decreased range of motion

RA affects approximately 1.3 million Americans, with a higher prevalence in women and individuals between the ages of 30 and 60. The exact cause is unknown, but genetic factors, environmental triggers, and lifestyle habits may contribute to disease onset.

Early diagnosis and proactive management are crucial to slowing the progression and preserving joint function. This is where regenerative medicine is emerging as a powerful option to not only manage symptoms but support natural healing.

How Can Stem Cells Help with RA?

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) used at CRC have powerful anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. Once introduced into the body, they:

• Reduce immune overreaction and systemic inflammation
• Promote healing of cartilage and joint lining
• Relieve chronic pain and stiffness
• Slow down joint degeneration and deformity

We combine stem cells with exosomes to enhance cellular communication and accelerate results.

MSCs can also modulate the immune system, making them especially valuable for autoimmune disorders like RA. Instead of merely masking symptoms with immunosuppressive drugs, stem cells target the dysfunction at its source—helping your body to naturally rebalance itself.

Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy for RA Patients

• Non-invasive and drug-free treatment
• Targets root causes, not just symptoms
• Minimal downtime and side effects
• May reduce or eliminate dependency on immunosuppressive drugs
• Improved mobility and quality of life
• Long-term tissue regeneration and symptom relief

Patients who undergo stem cell therapy at CRC often report decreased pain, improved range of motion, and better energy levels within weeks of treatment.

Our Stem Cell Therapy Protocol for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Every patient is unique, and CRC develops personalized treatment protocols tailored to the severity of RA and other health factors. Our protocol may include:

• Comprehensive medical evaluation and diagnostic imaging
• Intravenous (IV) infusion of MSCs and exosomes
• Intra-articular joint injections for targeted relief
• Adjunct therapies like peptides, ozone therapy, and nutritional support
• Ongoing monitoring with medical follow-ups

Our goal is not only to relieve symptoms but to regenerate tissue and restore immune balance.

Clinical Research Supporting Stem Cell Use in RA

Multiple studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of MSC therapy for RA. According to PubMed Central, stem cells significantly reduce disease activity and inflammatory biomarkers.

Research published in Stem Cell Reports also shows improved joint function and cartilage regeneration in RA patients receiving MSC infusions.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

The process begins with a consultation either online or at our Tijuana facility. Our medical team will review your medical history, test results, and RA symptoms to recommend a tailored treatment plan.

Treatments are performed in a comfortable outpatient setting. Most patients can return to their hotel or home the same day. Mild soreness or fatigue may occur temporarily, but side effects are rare and typically resolve quickly.

Patients begin noticing improvements within 2 to 8 weeks, with continued benefits over the following months as inflammation subsides and regeneration occurs.
