Hip pain and joint degeneration significantly impact quality of life for many Japanese patients, and while hip replacement surgery is available through the national system, wait times and recovery demands can be challenging. Fluoroscopy-guided regenerative hip therapy offers a non-surgical alternative targeting cartilage loss and inflammation. Our Chiang Mai clinic, approximately six hours from Tokyo or Osaka, provides this approach with Japanese-speaking support and aftercare coordination.
Hip regenerative therapy uses fluoroscopy-guided biological treatments to address cartilage loss, labral damage, and chronic hip joint inflammation. The fluoroscopy guidance ensures accurate delivery of regenerative agents to the deep hip joint, which cannot be safely accessed without imaging. Treatment includes comprehensive orthopaedic assessment with hip imaging, followed by fluoroscopy-guided injection of regenerative biologicals into the hip joint capsule.

Japanese patients choose regenerative hip therapy because fluoroscopy-guided delivery ensures accurate access to the deep hip joint, a level of precision that is essential for effective treatment. The non-surgical approach avoids the three to six month recovery typical of hip replacement surgery. Treatment costs represent a fraction of what private hip surgery would cost domestically, and Japanese-speaking support ensures clear communication throughout. Detailed treatment records are provided for coordination with your Japanese physician.
For early to moderate hip degeneration, regenerative therapy can delay or potentially avoid the need for hip replacement surgery.
Under fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance for safe and accurate access to the deep hip joint.
A typical hip treatment programme takes three to five days in Chiang Mai.
Recovery is significantly faster. Most patients walk comfortably within days rather than the weeks or months required after hip replacement.
Yes, bilateral treatment can be performed during the same visit to Chiang Mai. Your clinician will assess both sides and design a treatment plan accordingly.
Yes. Our team includes Japanese-speaking coordinators to support Japanese patients throughout their treatment journey.
Hip regenerative therapy in Thailand costs a fraction of what private regenerative or surgical hip treatment costs in Japan.
Japan has an advanced regenerative medicine framework under the PMDA, but access to comprehensive fluoroscopy-guided biological hip treatments can be limited by availability, waiting times, and significant out-of-pocket costs at specialist clinics.
Yes. We provide comprehensive treatment records, imaging, and clinical notes for coordinated follow-up with your Japanese healthcare team.
Japanese nationals enjoy visa-free entry to Thailand for stays up to 30 days.
