About
Muscat Orthopedic Clinic is located in Hosaki, Akai City, Okayama Prefecture, at the foot of the Sanyo Danchi housing complex. The clinic took over a facility that has long served the local community and operates under the direction of Dr. Masahito Watanabe, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon certified by the Japanese Orthopedic Association. The clinic provides a wide range of care, including treatment of traumatic injuries such as fractures, dislocations, lacerations, and contusions, as well as everyday musculoskeletal complaints including stiff shoulders, lower back pain, knee pain, and numbness in the limbs, along with sports injuries and traffic accident injuries. The clinic also places emphasis on the treatment of osteoporosis associated with aging, and handles highly specialized conditions such as cervical spondylosis, periarthritis of the shoulder (frozen shoulder), trigger finger, and scoliosis. Dr. Watanabe graduated from Okayama University School of Medicine and gained extensive surgical experience at Tsuyama Central Hospital and Okayama University Hospital. He also holds certifications as a rheumatism specialist and a musculoskeletal rehabilitation specialist. The clinic offers physical therapy-based rehabilitation and follows a policy of selecting the most appropriate treatment for each patient's condition, including medication and conservative management. Referrals to partner hospitals for advanced imaging such as CT and MRI scans, as well as surgical treatment, are available when necessary. The facility is fully barrier-free and equipped with a parking lot, and English-language consultations are available. Office hours are 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM, with the clinic closed on Sundays and public holidays. The clinic has been featured in Doctor's File and the magazine "Bijin Hyakka," and continues to provide community-rooted care as a trusted neighborhood orthopedic practice.
