Regenerative Tendon and Shoulder Treatment in Bangkok for Americans

Americans with tendon and shoulder pain travel to Bangkok for regenerative treatment such as stem cell and PRP injections because access at home can be limited, slow or costly. The first step is free: send your MRI or scan report through the form on this page and a doctor tells you whether treatment could fit your case, before you book anything.

Why patients from the USA look abroad

• Many US insurers do not cover PRP or stem cell injections, and the FDA has not approved stem cell products for most of these conditions.
• Clinics at home are often limited to minimally processed same-day cell procedures.
• Bangkok is one of Asia's main medical-travel hubs, with private hospitals and English-speaking medical staff.

Getting to Bangkok

• Flight time: usually 17 to 22 hours with one connection.
• Visa: many passports, including from the USA, can enter Thailand visa-free for a short stay. Rules change, so check the current length with the Royal Thai Embassy before you travel. A medical treatment visa exists for longer stays.
• Time needed: most people plan 5 to 7 days in Bangkok, including rest before flying home.

How it works

1. Send your MRI or scan report (a photo of the report is fine)
2. A doctor reviews it and tells you which options could fit
3. Personal plan and quote, based on your case, not a price list
4. Treatment in Bangkok, then follow-up check-ins when you are home

Questions to ask first

• Which cells or preparation, from where, and how much?
• What results are realistic for my condition and stage?
• What does follow-up look like once I am back in the USA?
• What should I tell my own doctor at home?
