Hide Orthopedics Clinic
About
Hide Orthopedic Clinic, located in Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture, is a medical facility providing orthopedic care on Ishigaki Island. In addition to standard orthopedic treatment, the clinic offers osteoporosis screenings and Kampo (traditional Japanese herbal) medicine. A distinctive feature is the on-site training facility, where guidance and practical instruction on strength training for injury and illness prevention are provided. In terms of equipment, the clinic has introduced a body composition analyzer using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), enabling highly accurate measurements of muscle mass, fat mass, and total body bone mass. This device is used not only for osteoporosis examinations but also for the prevention of metabolic syndrome, sarcopenia, and locomotive syndrome. The clinic also offers specialized outpatient services for hip, knee, shoulder, and rheumatoid arthritis conditions, with referrals to specialists on the main island of Okinawa when surgery is required. Electronic medical records have been implemented to improve efficiency, and a web-based appointment system helps reduce waiting times. Rehabilitation services are provided by appointment, with physical therapists or occupational therapists in charge. The facility is equipped with parking and is wheelchair accessible. English language support is available. Please note that the clinic may be closed when a storm warning is issued.
