About
Hirata Pain Clinic is a Kampo (traditional Japanese herbal medicine) internal medicine specialist clinic located in Kasuya-machi, Kasuya District, Fukuoka Prefecture. The clinic combines Kampo medicine with Western-style pain management, offering gentle treatments for "mind and body" that address pain and various physical symptoms. A distinguishing feature is their dedicated approach to patients suffering from symptoms that have not improved despite long-term treatment. In terms of clinical services, the clinic has introduced online consultations as part of COVID-19 measures, enabling remote examinations for follow-up patients. Initial consultations are also available as medical consultations, with examinations conducted via a dedicated app and credit card payments accepted. Director Michihiko Hirata has authored "Pain Treatment in Kampo Medicine: A Practical Guide" and works to elucidate pain treatment systems through dialogue between Western and Kampo medicine, demonstrating his high level of expertise. The facility includes a parking lot, ensuring convenient access for patients. English assistance is available, providing language support for international patients. Consultations are primarily on weekdays, with Sundays, the third Saturday of each month, public holidays, and year-end/New Year and Obon periods being closed. Patients can make advance reservations online, and phone inquiries are accepted on clinic days during morning hours.
