Our hospital was opened in 1999 as a specialized hospital for stroke and neurological diseases. In order to respond to the aging of society, we established Orthopaedic surgery, which specializes in the treatment of hips and knees.
Treatment of stroke
Symptoms may be stroke…
Suddenly, if you experience symptoms such as falling only half of your face, poor arms, poor speaking, dizziness, severe headache, etc., you may have a stroke.
It is also possible to have a stroke if a minor headache or something continues to look double on a daily basis.
There is such a treatment.
Cerebral infarction is caused by clogging of blood vessels. It can be treated with t-PA therapy to dissolve blood lumps (thrombos), which cause clogging of blood vessels, or intravascular treatment in which blood clots are removed from blood vessels using a catheter tube.
Brain hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage can be caused by broken bumps in blood vessels and blood vessels. Treatment with hemostasis and drugs that lower blood pressure, and treatment with surgery.
Recently, there is treatment to remove the cause of the stroke before it becomes a stroke. In particular, measures to prevent subarachnoid hemorrhage, which has a high mortality rate, include coil embolization, which packs metal threads on blood vessels, and clipping surgery to prevent blood from flowing across the root of the bump.
It supports stroke treatment 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!
In our hospital, Neuroscience Internal medicine and Neurosurgery cooperate to select appropriate treatment methods for each patient, regardless of Medical consultation fee.

Treatment of knee pain
I'm here. A person whose knee hurts
It is said that there are 25 million people with knee deformation nationwide, and 8 million people complain of pain. Difficult walking due to knee disease is a major factor in locomotive syndrome.
Early detection of knee disease and appropriate treatment are required to extend healthy life expectancy.
※Locomotive syndrome refers to a condition in which functions such as standing, walking, and sitting are reduced.
There is such a treatment.
If the knee deformation is light, oral medicine such as analgesics can reduce the pain. In addition, regular hyaluronic acid injections can relieve pain.
Even if the symptoms progress, you can still receive "artificial joint replacement". In Japan, nearly 100,000 surgeries are carried out annually. Recently, the type of artificial joint has increased, and it has become possible to create joints that suit each individual. In addition, we also perform surgery to preserve the knees called "high-level tibial bone skeletal surgery" according to symptoms such as joints that warn the inside of the knee or do not extend.
If you want to know more about knee joint diseases, please refer to Orthopaedic surgery's Treatment of knees.

Treatment of back pain and neck pain
What is the cause of back pain?
There are various causes of back pain, and in fact, about 80% of back pain, which is not known. Many back pain can be cured by rest or medication, but some back pain should not be left unattended.
Spinal stenosis is a disease in which the nerve path called the spine tube in the spine becomes narrow due to degeneration, and the nerves are squeezed. In many cases, it is asymptomatic if you stay still, and if you continue standing posture or walking, numbness and pain will appear, and it will be a little easier when you rest.
"Fractures unintentionally" refers to osteoporosis vertebraic fracture Be careful if you are an elderly person and have strong back pain when you are in the middle, stretch your back, or have a light shyness.
There is such a treatment.
There are many different types of drugs and block injections to reduce nerve inflammation, reduce pain transmissions, and reduce pain.
Surgery includes decompression techniques to reduce pressure on the nerves by shaving the degenerative hard tissue around the nerve, correctional fixation techniques to straighten the bent spine using metal, and balloon formation techniques to put cement into the crushed part of fractures associated with osteoporosis.
There are inspection equipment with low exposure doses.
With the sterEOS imaging system, you can grasp the condition of your back in detail with a low radiation dose while standing.

Cardiovascular disease
What is cardiovascular disease?
A disease in which the heart and blood vessels, which are organs that circulate blood throughout the body, do not work properly, such as hypertension, heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, aneurysm, etc.
It is classified as a syntax. Cerebrovascular disease involves heart disease with a high probability.
What is heart rehabilitation?
Heart rehabilitation (heart rehabilitation) is a comprehensive activity that aims to help patients with heart disease restore physical strength, regain confidence, return to comfortable home life and social activities, and prevent recurrence and re-hospitalization. It is a program.
Contents include exercise therapy, learning activities, life guidance, consultation (counseling), etc.
Patients with heart failure, myocardial infarction, angina, after heart surgery, etc. have reduced the function of the heart, and their ability to regulate the body as they continue to live in rest.
As a result, you cannot do strong activities immediately after you leave the hospital, and you are worried because you do not know how much you can do.
For these, it is helpful to perform appropriate exercise therapy in heart rehabilitation.
In addition, we provide dietary guidance and smoking cessation guidance with the aim of preventing the progress of arteriosclerosis, which causes heart disease.
In heart rehabilitation, many specialized medical professionals, such as doctors, physiotherapists, nurses, and pharmacists with specialized knowledge, propose and implement effective rehabilitation programs tailored to each patient's condition.
