Kitakami Orthopedic Clinic
About
Located in Suwa-cho, Kitakami City, Iwate Prefecture, Kitakami Orthopedic Clinic is a specialized orthopedic clinic operated by the medical corporation Fujinikai. The clinic primarily treats musculoskeletal conditions commonly caused by daily activities or aging, such as fractures, osteoarthritis of the knee, and lumbar disc herniation, serving patients across a wide age range in the local community. The clinic's treatment approach emphasizes conservative therapy, offering combination treatments including oral medications, medicated patches, hyaluronic acid injections, and rehabilitation tailored to symptoms. However, when patients are diagnosed with unstable fractures or require surgery and hospitalization, a referral system is in place to coordinate closely with Kitakami Saiseikai Hospital, ensuring patients can access appropriate specialized care based on their condition. The facility houses examination rooms and X-ray rooms (supporting bone density measurement) on the first floor and rehabilitation rooms on the third floor, enabling comprehensive care from diagnosis to functional recovery within the clinic. English-speaking staff are available, and the facility features barrier-free design, creating an accessible environment for patients with mobility challenges. Parking is also available for those visiting by car. The clinic is closed on Sundays, holidays, every Thursday, and Saturday afternoons.
