About
Mizuho Clinic, located in Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture, is a clinic specializing in Orthopedics, Rheumatology, and Rehabilitation. It is the only specialist rheumatoid arthritis treatment facility in the region, and under the direction of Clinic Director Dr. Yoshihiro Abe (M.D., Ph.D.), it provides comprehensive care for advanced osteoarthritis and neurological disorders originating from the cervical and lumbar spine. In rheumatology care, the clinic emphasizes early detection and early treatment, conducting precise diagnoses through a combination of X-ray examinations, joint ultrasound, and blood tests, and providing drug therapy using antirheumatic drugs (immunomodulators and immunosuppressants) and biologic agents. Orthopedic services cover a wide range from injuries such as fractures, sprains, and Achilles tendon ruptures to chronic conditions including lower back pain, osteoporosis, hallux valgus, and tendonitis. The clinic is equipped with bone densitometry and arteriosclerosis testing devices. Ultrasound examinations allow for precise evaluation of inflammation inside joints and soft tissue injuries that are difficult to detect with X-rays. English-speaking staff are available, and the facility features a 25-space parking lot and barrier-free design, ensuring accessibility for diverse patients. The clinic has partnerships with Yamagata Saiseikai Hospital, Yamagata Prefectural Central Hospital, and Tohoku Central Hospital, maintaining a cooperative system for referrals when necessary.
