Located in Higashikose, Kato City, Hyogo Prefecture, Sono Clinic has been serving the local community for over 30 years since its establishment in 1989. The clinic specializes in internal medicine, pediatrics, and rehabilitation, offering integrated healthcare that combines Western and Eastern medicine. Dr. Zuihiko Sono, the Taiwan-born physician-in-charge, holds certifications from the Japan Medical Association as a sports physician, occupational physician, and Yuan-Luo therapy practitioner. In addition to general internal medicine, the clinic provides traditional Chinese herbal medicine prescriptions and authentic acupuncture treatments. A key strength is the treatment of chronic pain conditions such as lower back pain, sciatica, stiff shoulders, frozen shoulder, and knee pain using a combination of Western diagnostic methods and Eastern therapeutic approaches. The clinic also manages lifestyle-related diseases, offers various vaccinations, and conducts sleep apnea screenings, with well-equipped diagnostic facilities including ultrasound, electrocardiogram, and blood pressure pulse wave testing. Medical services are available in English and Chinese (Mandarin and Minnan), with online consultations and home healthcare services also offered. The clinic operates on a walk-in basis without appointments, and provides parking facilities and barrier-free access, creating an accessible healthcare environment for a diverse range of patients.
