Yanagi Orthopedics Clinic
About
Located in Chuo, Nakama City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Medical Corporation Yanagi Orthopedic Clinic is a clinic specializing in orthopedic care. The clinic focuses on treating osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis, utilizing electronic medical records specifically designed for rheumatoid arthritis in diagnosis and treatment. For osteoporosis, bone density measurement using the DEXA method for the lumbar spine and femur has been available since June 2012, with diagnosis and treatment evaluation performed using precision equipment from Hologic. For rheumatoid arthritis treatment, oral medication is the primary approach, though injectable medications may be considered when oral treatments prove insufficient. The clinic also responds to sudden lower back pain such as acute lumbar strain, offering treatments including facet joint injections. Facility features include parking and barrier-free access, with English language support available. Appointments are not required and patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis, though order may change depending on the type of treatment needed. The clinic is closed on Sundays, holidays, and during New Year's, Obon, and year-end periods. As an outpatient-only facility, it supports orthopedic healthcare in the local community.
