Equipment, treatment methods and techniques
sports facility
We not only provide rehabilitation for injuries, but also aggressive exercise therapy for lifestyle-related diseases. Exercise therapy is not covered by insurance, but it is the mainstay of treatment. We comprehensively determine the most necessary exercise therapy for complex problems from a medical perspective and provide exercise therapy. Our clinic is equipped with equipment such as the HIGATREC, an AI-equipped Smith machine, and the Wattbike, which is also used by top athletes.
DEXA
As we age, bone strength weakens. Bone strength is evaluated by bone mineral content, and our clinic is equipped with a DEXA method device to measure bone mineral content. Osteoporosis is often noticed after a bone fracture occurs, so it is advisable to examine and treat the patient appropriately.
X-ray room
Radiography uses X-rays to visualize the internal structures of the body. It is mainly useful in diagnosing lung disease and bone fractures. In children, radiographs of the hands can be used to calculate bone age.
ultrasonic waves
Unlike X-rays, ultrasonography does not expose the patient to radiation, and dynamic observation can be performed while moving joints. We perform a wide range of ultrasound examinations, not only of the musculoskeletal system, but also of the abdomen (liver, kidneys, etc.), thyroid gland, carotid artery, and other organs.
coherence tomography
OCTA
Fundus examination is recommended for early detection of eye diseases. As people age, they are more susceptible to eye diseases as well as lifestyle-related diseases, but only visual acuity is defined in health checkups and other examinations. In particular, people with diabetes and other eye diseases may develop eye complications, and fundus examination is recommended by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. At our clinic, we have an OCTA (OCT angiography) device that allows patients who have been examined by an internist or orthopedic surgeon to easily undergo an examination.
PHR
Personal health record
A PHR (personal health record) is a record of your medical and nursing care. Some people are indifferent to what medications they are taking, what their medical conditions are, or what illnesses they have had before, but your body belongs to you and you alone. Medical information does not belong to the hospital or clinic, but to the individual. We have introduced the PHR system in the hope that medical information can be viewed by the patients themselves to deepen their understanding of the information and to make use of it in their daily health care.
medical diet
Exercise, diet, rest, and mental health are all important for good health, and we try to be proactive in our exercise regimen. However, for weight loss, not only exercise but also diet is very important. It would be good if it could be done through daily regimen, but if it is difficult, one way is to lose weight with the help of medical treatment.
intravenous drip infusion therapy
In recent years, various methods have been used to treat pain. Our clinic also offers various treatments such as injection therapy using ultrasound and exercise therapy. Injection therapy is a treatment developed by Dr. Okuno of the Okuno Clinic. It may be remarkably effective for refractory musculoskeletal diseases such as Heberden's nodes and plantar tendonitis.
acupuncture and moxibustion therapy
It is a treatment that uses specialized acupuncture needles and moxibustion to stimulate specific areas of the body. Acupuncture and moxibustion treatment is sometimes effective for conditions that cannot be treated by Western medicine alone, and is now recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as effective for a wide range of conditions.
myofascial release
At our clinic, we use ultrasound equipment to perform myofascial release on adhered tissues. Myofascial release can be done manually, such as massage, or by stretching, etc. If adhesions are strong, a needle is inserted into the site of adhesion and saline solution is administered. After the adhesions are corrected, rehabilitation and other training are performed.
