Autoimmune & Inflammatory
Psoriatic Arthritis
Joint inflammation associated with psoriasis.
About this condition
Psoriatic arthritis combines skin and joint involvement. Protocols focus on inflammation markers tracked over time.
How we approach it
Mesenchymal stem cells are studied for their immune-modulating effects. We coordinate with your rheumatologist and never ask you to stop prescribed medication.
Therapies we may consider
How to prepare
- •Gather your records: diagnosis letters, recent lab results, imaging reports (MRI, X-ray, CT) and a medication list.
- •Keep taking prescribed medication — we never ask you to stop treatment from your own doctor.
- •Ask your specialist whether they are willing to share notes with our physicians; coordinated care is safer.
- •Write down your main goals and current symptoms (for example, pain on a 0–10 scale or walking distance) so we can measure change honestly.
- •Plan your trip: most programs need 2–5 days in Los Cabos, and you should avoid long flights for 24 hours after joint procedures if possible.
Possible side effects
Depends on the therapy your physician recommends. Most are mild and short-lived.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells
- · Mild fatigue, low-grade fever or chills in the first 24–48 hours after infusion
- · Headache or mild nausea
- · Soreness, swelling or stiffness at the injection site for a few days (joint injections)
- · Bruising at the IV site
