About
Kurashashi Orthopedic Clinic is an orthopedic specialty medical facility located in Miyakojima City, Okinawa Prefecture. Dr. Yutaka Kurahashi, the clinic director, specializes in spine, sports medicine, pediatric orthopedics, and rheumatic diseases, focusing on providing accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatment plans. The clinic is open from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM, with morning-only hours on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The clinic is closed on Sundays, public holidays, and during the New Year period. In terms of equipment, the MRI system was updated in 2019, enabling shorter imaging times and improved image resolution. The clinic also features a digital radiography (DR) X-ray imaging system that reduces radiation exposure to approximately half to two-thirds of conventional levels, as well as specialized DXA bone densitometry equipment for precise measurement of spinal and femoral bone density. For rehabilitation, the clinic provides musculoskeletal rehabilitation services, with specialized rehabilitation therapists offering treatment that does not rely solely on medical equipment. The clinic distributes pamphlets on sports injuries for elementary and junior high school students and can refer patients interested in PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy to affiliated facilities. The clinic has a parking lot and is barrier-free accessible. English-language service is available. The clinic also maintains a transparent healthcare system, offering generic drug prescriptions and free itemized medical statements.
