Shimizu Pain Clinic
About
Opened in April 2023 on the first floor of the Hakuhodo Kyoto Building in Tanakamonomae-cho, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City, located on the north side of the Hyakumanben intersection, this clinic specializes in pain clinic internal medicine. Featuring nerve block treatments using X-ray fluoroscopy and ultrasound equipment, they provide advanced pulsed radiofrequency treatment that was approved for insurance coverage in fiscal year 2022. This treatment method is limited to very few facilities in Kyoto Prefecture and the entire Kinki region, and the clinic has introduced the latest radiofrequency generator that allows flexible settings for pulsed radiofrequency conditions. For self-pay treatments, they offer pulsed radiofrequency for pain associated with peripheral nerve disorders and intervertebral disc degeneration, as well as vaccine services, particularly providing shingles vaccination (Shingrix). The appointment system supports online reservations, allowing bookings from smartphones or PCs. The facility is barrier-free and offers English language services. Since April 2024, they have expanded their treatment slots, including Wednesday morning appointments.
