Sports orthopedic surgery
Ikiridashi Seira Clinic is located a 5-minute walk from Ikiridashi Station. It provides orthopedic care for sports injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament damage, tennis elbow, and shoulder dislocation, and supports athletes in their recovery through collaboration with doctors and physical therapists. Open until 20:00 on Wednesdays and also on Saturdays.
Sports injuries (trauma) and disorders caused by overuse are treated by sports orthopedic surgery. This is one of the treatments provided at our clinic.
In addition to diagnosing and treating injuries, we prioritize understanding why a certain part of the body is under stress and how to prevent it from happening again. Doctors and physical therapists work together to progress treatment, rehabilitation, and return to competition. This service is not limited to students participating in sports or those who want to continue exercising for fun.

Sports injuries in children during growth
In growing bones, there is cartilage in the end of the bone (end plate) in the growth phase. It is weaker than adult bones, and when strong loads are applied, fractures, inflammation, and tearing injuries can occur. In addition, muscles and tendons cannot keep up with bone growth, and many disorders occur due to pulling forces.
At our clinic, we check the condition through a consultation and examination, X-rays and ultrasound (echocardiography), and if necessary, we determine the growth stage based on bone age. Our physiotherapist checks the posture, flexibility, and body movements, and teaches exercises to prevent recurrence. For athletes in the growth phase, we work with their parents to share information as well.
