Yamagata Orthopedics Clinic
About
Located in Yamagata Village, Higashichikuma District, Nagano Prefecture, Yamagata Orthopedic Clinic is an orthopedic specialty clinic rooted in the local community. Aiming to be "your nearby home doctor," the clinic treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including pain and numbness in the neck, shoulders, elbows, lower back, knees, and limbs, as well as deformities, trauma, osteoporosis, gout, and rheumatism. The clinic emphasizes accurate diagnosis through careful combination of medical history taking, visual examination, and palpation, supplemented by X-rays, ultrasound, and blood tests as needed. For conditions such as tenosynovitis, the clinic performs minor surgeries under local anesthesia, and cooperates with nearby medical institutions like Matsumoto Municipal Hospital when CT, MRI imaging, or hospitalization is required. Since April 2024, the clinic has also begun offering musculoskeletal rehabilitation, where a physical therapist with over 30 years of experience at university hospitals supports patient recovery and self-management through stretching, strength training, and functional exercises. The clinic has implemented an online eligibility verification system using My Number cards, and all consultations are on a walk-in, first-come-first-served basis with no appointment required. The facility is equipped with parking and barrier-free access, creating an environment easily accessible for elderly patients.
