Hello, I am  Fujii, the director.

Since you’ve stopped by our website, let’s see if we can resolve some of the concerns you might be facing!

 

【Are you struggling to choose the right osteopathic clinic?】

 

"There are so many clinics out there; I don't know which one to pick."

 

"I’m not interested in going to a chain clinic."

 

"I’m worried about undergoing risky adjustment procedures."

 

"I’m currently visiting a clinic but not seeing any real results."

 

"I feel like the practitioner doesn't fully understand exactly where it hurts."

 

"The quality of care varies depending on which practitioner I see."

 

"I feel like I'm being treated on an assembly line rather than having my specific symptoms properly addressed."

 

"They just pressure me to keep coming back, claiming I won't heal unless I attend frequent sessions."

 

"My condition isn't improving; it’s just a repetitive cycle of adjustments and muscle massage."

 

"They try to push unnecessary prepaid packages for treatments or abdominal exercise machines.""They keep pushing expensive add-on treatments every time."

 

"They focus entirely on body misalignment and balance but won't examine the actual area that hurts."

 

"I feel temporary relief after treatment, but my condition quickly reverts to how it was."

 

"An orthopedic clinic found nothing wrong on my scans, yet I clearly have pain in a specific area."

 

 

These are the kinds of concerns voiced by new patients who have visited Karada Kenkyujo Acupuncture & Osteopathic Clinic.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

For those wondering, "Is it okay to visit an osteopathic clinic for symptoms like mine?" we have categorized the types of patients who visit our clinic.

 

① Pain and numbness in joints (shoulders, neck, etc.)

⇒ This is the most common complaint among our patients; our trigger point therapy and trigger point acupuncture are highly effective for these issues.

 

② Vague, persistent complaints (autonomic nervous system issues, chronic fatigue, headaches, menstrual pain, stomach pain, etc.)

⇒ We provide treatments designed to regulate the autonomic nervous system using manual therapy, acupuncture, and breathing techniques.

 

③ Body conditioning and care for those who experience stiffness due to accumulated fatigue

⇒ In addition to manual therapy and acupuncture, we incorporate exercise therapy to correct physical imbalances.

Please feel free to consult us about your body, even if you do not have specific symptoms like pain or numbness.

 

④ Recurring pain caused by underlying physical issues that the patient is unaware of

⇒ We provide exercise therapy based on fundamental principles of the body, drawing on fields such as American sports medicine and rehabilitation medicine.

All our staff members hold national licenses (as acupuncturists/moxibustionists or judo therapists),

and we also have staff who hold additional certifications as athletic trainers and Pilates instructors.

 

To help unlock the body's innate capabilities, we employ a comprehensive approach that combines manual therapy and acupuncture with exercise-based interventions—including training, motor control work, and Pilates.

 

If you are looking to improve your body from the ground up,

we are committed to meeting those expectations by integrating treatment with exercise.

 

Our clinic director, Fujii, holds a strong aversion—bordering on distrust—toward certain types of establishments: chain clinics that offer nothing more than superficial massages while acting like experts; clinics that merely *look* like they are doing good work; and those that rely on exaggerated advertising despite being unable to actually heal patients. He has no desire to be associated with such places.

 

Having chosen this profession, he is dedicated to building a clinic that strives for true expertise—one where we constantly pursue the highest standards of care.

 

If you are simply looking to have a stiff shoulder massaged under insurance coverage or just want the cheapest possible treatment, there are countless osteopathic clinics that offer only insurance-based care; for such needs, those clinics would likely be your best option.

 

Please rest assured, however, that our clinic does not require daily visits, nor do we ever recommend unnecessary follow-up appointments.

 

Next, I will explain the treatments we offer for specific symptoms.

 

I do not want you to visit us with high hopes—seeking relief from pain—only to end up thinking, "Huh?" or feeling like you wasted your time and money.

 

That is why I have created this website to share information—including my own experiences and treatment methods—in my own words, while also citing evidence-based data.
