Seikei Hokushin Hospital
About
Hokushin Hospital, operated by the Social Medical Corporation Hojinkai, is a specialized orthopedic hospital located in Higashi Ward, Sapporo, focusing on musculoskeletal disorders. The hospital offers dedicated outpatient clinics centered on spinal, upper limb, and lower limb disorders, providing a wide range of orthopedic care spanning from acute conditions such as trauma and fractures to chronic pain and degenerative diseases. For spinal disorders, minimally invasive endoscopic surgery is offered as an option when medication and rehabilitation have not yielded sufficient improvement, with a treatment approach oriented toward early return to daily life and work. Upper limb care includes advanced prosthetic joint surgery for complex rotator cuff tears, while lower limb conditions—from sports-related knee injuries to age-related cartilage degeneration—are addressed using the latest medical knowledge and techniques. A dedicated osteoporosis outpatient clinic is also available, offering regular follow-up care including bone density testing. Consultations are available on weekday mornings and afternoons as well as Saturday mornings, with multiple specialists assigned by day and subspecialty. A free circular shuttle bus operates on weekdays from the north exit of JR Sapporo Station, and the facility is equipped with parking and barrier-free accessibility. The hospital also accommodates diverse patient needs, including English-language support and acceptance of credit cards and electronic payments.
