About
Umenoki Pain Clinic, located in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture, is a specialized pain clinic conveniently situated about a 5-minute drive from Yokote Station. The director graduated from Akita University School of Medicine, built a career as an anesthesiologist at Hiraka General Hospital, and opened this clinic in 2004. The core of treatment is nerve block therapy, using various techniques such as trigger point injections, epidural blocks, and trigeminal nerve blocks depending on the location and condition of the pain, progressing treatment in combination with pharmacotherapy. The clinic treats a wide range of pain including low back and lower limb pain, neck and shoulder pain, and postherpetic neuralgia, with many patients suffering from herniated discs and lumbar spondylosis visiting the clinic. The clinic also offers placenta injections (out-of-pocket, advance reservation required) and bone density measurement, as well as administering shingles vaccinations. The clinic interior features wood-based warmth, creating a calm space incorporating flowers, aromatherapy, and music. The facility has a barrier-free structure with a ramp at the entrance and includes a parking lot. English language support is available, and a system has been introduced to reduce waiting time by filling out a web-based medical questionnaire in advance. First-time patients are also accepted by appointment. The clinic is closed on Wednesdays, Sundays, and public holidays.
