Higashi Aoba Orthopedics Sports & Rehabilitation Clinic
About
Located in Nittahigashi, Miyagino Ward, Sendai City, Higashi-Aoba Orthopedic Sports & Rehabilitation Clinic is an orthopedic clinic approximately a 5-minute walk from the north exit of JR Senseki Line's Kotsubashinoda Station. The clinic's most distinctive feature is its active use of ultrasound (echo) for both diagnosis and treatment. The clinic adopts an approach of visualizing soft tissue conditions—such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves—which are difficult to assess with X-rays, in real time while providing detailed explanations to patients while showing them the screen. In addition to high-precision procedures including ultrasound-guided hydrorelease, nerve block injections, and intra-articular injections, the clinic also offers silent manipulation for frozen shoulder. Clinic Director Shu Takahashi is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and a sports medicine specialist who has served as a Japan Olympic Committee (JOC) strengthening staff and Japan Tennis Association medical committee member. Rehabilitation by physical therapists is well-established, and sports rehabilitation is available until 8 PM on weekday evenings, making it easy for patients to attend after club activities or work. The clinic accepts English inquiries, supports credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments, and is equipped with parking and barrier-free facilities.
