Katsumata Clinic
About
Katsumata Clinic, located in Ozato, Inatsumachi, Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture, is a clinic primarily focused on internal medicine that broadly addresses the healthcare needs of the local community. One of its notable features is its comprehensive gastrointestinal examination capabilities — in addition to standard gastroscopy, the clinic has introduced the latest transnasal endoscopy, and was recognized by Gifu Prefecture for these efforts in 2009. The clinic is equipped to detect gastrointestinal diseases, liver conditions, and prostate abnormalities at an early stage through abdominal ultrasound examinations, and can address arteriosclerosis and various arrhythmias via Holter electrocardiography. In the field of orthopedics, electrical therapy is provided for lower back pain, stiff shoulders, and knee joint pain, and hyaluronic acid injections are administered for frozen shoulder and knee osteoarthritis — the ability to perform such specialized procedures is one of the clinic's key strengths. Regarding diabetes, dietary guidance has been offered since the clinic's founding, with insulin injection instruction provided when necessary. Home visit and visiting medical services have also been available since its establishment, and the clinic actively collaborates with Tono Kosei Hospital and the nursing care facility "Hizashi." All vaccinations available in Japan are offered, from infant immunizations to adult influenza vaccinations. The clinic provides a welcoming environment with multilingual support including English and Korean, ample parking, and barrier-free facilities.
