Watanabe Clinic

About

Located in Saya-cho, Aisai City, Aichi Prefecture, Watanabe Clinic is a medical facility specializing in internal medicine. A distinctive feature of this clinic is its proactive integration of Kampo (traditional Japanese) medicine into its practice. For viral colds, antibiotics are not used; instead, Kampo medicines tailored to individual constitution and symptoms are prescribed. The clinic employs a unique approach that aims to relieve symptoms such as sore throat, cough, runny nose, and headache within a short time through in-clinic medication administration. The clinic does not prescribe symptomatic treatments such as antipyretics or analgesics, instead emphasizing fundamental treatment of illnesses. The scope of practice is extensive, covering prevention and treatment of lifestyle-related diseases including diabetes. The Pain Clinic Internal Medicine department offers chronic pain treatment using semiconductor laser therapy devices also adopted by university hospitals. For joint pain such as knee osteoarthritis and frozen shoulder, the clinic provides combined treatment with laser therapy and Kampo medicine. Additionally, specialized outpatient services include headache, cough, and Kampo clinics, offering prescription of specific and preventive medications for migraines, as well as addressing medication-overuse headaches. In dermatology, the clinic also treats acne and urticaria. English communication is available, and the facility is equipped with parking and barrier-free access. Consultation hours are 8:45 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:30 PM to 7:10 PM, closed on Wednesdays, Sundays, and public holidays.
