Kohoku Ekimae Ohisama Internal Medicine & Pediatrics
About
Located just an 80-second walk from Kangbuk Station, Kangbuk Station Ohisama Internal Medicine & Pediatrics is a clinic providing internal medicine services. The clinic's vice director is a certified general internal medicine specialist and has introduced antibody medications that inhibit CGRP, a substance involved in migraines. This treatment reduces monthly migraine days by 50% in 60% of patients, by 75% in 30%, and eliminates attacks completely in 10%. Initial treatment involves triptan medications, acetaminophen, NSAIDs, calcium channel blockers, anti-epileptic drugs, and Kampo medicine. The clinic also offers smoking cessation treatment covered by health insurance and conducts specific health checkups. For specific health checkups, two doctors—a radiology diagnostic specialist and a former radiologist—carefully evaluate results using 4-megapixel high-definition monitors. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, Kampo-based infertility treatment and psychosomatic medicine consultations are available for both men and women. Saturday consultations are available until 2 PM, creating an accessible environment for those who work in the morning or have neglected abnormal checkup results. The clinic provides parking, barrier-free access, and English language support.
