Nakabayashi Orthopedics Clinic
About
This orthopedic clinic located in Nada Ward, Kobe City, specializes in pain clinic and surgery. The clinic focuses on the treatment of knee joint pain and performs radiofrequency ablation treatment for knee osteoarthritis. This treatment uses a medical device called Coolief, which blocks nerves for an extended period by applying radiofrequency to the nerves that transmit knee pain and thermally coagulating them. In US clinical trials, 74% of patients achieved 50% or more pain reduction at 6 months, with favorable functional outcomes. This treatment is covered by insurance when pain is not alleviated through conventional conservative treatment. Rehabilitation services are comprehensive, with home-based rehabilitation provided by two physical therapists and outpatient rehabilitation available from 1 PM to 3 PM, utilized for fall prevention and care prevention. The facility offers English support and barrier-free accessibility.
