About
Hirai Orthopedic Clinic is a specialized orthopedic practice located in Omotokamicho, Kita-ku, Okayama City. It is situated approximately 1km east of JR Omoto Station and about a 10-minute drive from Okayama Station, with on-site parking available. The clinic director, Dr. Nariyuki Hirai, is a graduate of the Okayama University Department of Orthopedic Surgery and holds certifications as an orthopedic surgery specialist and a Japan Orthopedic Association certified sports medicine physician. In addition to general orthopedic care, the clinic is notable for offering pain management through nerve block treatments as a pain clinic. It also provides ingrown toenail correction, enabling treatment of a wide range of conditions. In terms of surgical procedures, the clinic performs tendon sheath incision surgery using the Yumoto-style tendon sheath knife, which results in an incision of approximately 1mm, minimizing post-operative impact on daily life. For equipment, the clinic has introduced the "Accellus" ultrasound therapy device to promote fracture healing, which delivers low-intensity pulsed ultrasound to enable faster recovery than conventional methods. The clinic is also equipped with an AED (automated external defibrillator) and supports online insurance eligibility verification via My Number Card health insurance. Appointments are not required, as patients are seen in order of arrival. English-language assistance is available, and the barrier-free facility is designed to be accessible and welcoming to a wide range of patients.
