Hokkaido Neurosurgical Memorial Hospital
Clinic Introduction
Comprehensive Expertise in Spinal and Spinal Cord Disorders Through Neurosurgical Specialization
Hokkaido Neurosurgical Memorial Hospital is a dedicated neurosurgical institution offering comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for a wide spectrum of spinal and spinal cord disorders involving the cervical and lumbar spine, including herniated intervertebral disc, spinal canal stenosis, and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). Guided by precise imaging with X-ray and MRI, the hospital employs minimally invasive surgical techniques — including spinal stabilization procedures using titanium prosthetic disc implants — with the goal of enabling patients to ambulate as early as the day following surgery, while providing attentive, individualized support throughout the recovery process.
—
A Stepwise Treatment Approach That Prioritizes Conservative Therapy and Encourages Patient Self-Care
The hospital follows a stepwise treatment philosophy that places conservative management at the forefront, utilizing pharmacotherapy and cervical collar immobilization before considering surgical intervention, which is reserved only for cases in which symptoms have progressed or proven refractory to non-operative care. Treatment decisions are thoughtfully tailored to each patient’s individual circumstances — for example, prolonged lumbar traction is avoided in elderly patients. The hospital also actively promotes self-care practices, such as strengthening the abdominal and back muscles to reduce mechanical load on the lumbar spine, empowering patients to take a proactive role in their own rehabilitation.
—
Committed to Patient Education and Accessible Health Communication
The hospital places great emphasis on helping patients understand their own conditions, offering clear and thorough explanations of common everyday symptoms such as shoulder stiffness, lower back pain, and numbness in the hands and feet. Through its regularly published hospital newsletter, “Caduceus Tsushin,” the hospital maintains consistent health communication with patients and the broader community. Through these initiatives, Hokkaido Neurosurgical Memorial Hospital remains committed to making specialized neurosurgical care feel approachable and readily accessible to people throughout Hokkaido.

Same-Day Visits Are Walk-In Only — Important Information for a Smooth Appointment
Same-day appointments cannot be booked online or by phone; patients must come directly to the front desk to register in person. Please bring your My Number Card (for use as your health insurance card), your eligibility confirmation document, or any applicable medical benefit certificates. During periods of high patient volume, we may be required to close reception before the scheduled end time, so we strongly recommend arriving with sufficient time to spare. Should there be any changes to your personal information — including your name, home address, or place of employment — please notify our staff as soon as possible.

Kunichika Naika Clinic
Clinic Introduction
“Pain-Free Gastroscopy” and Comprehensive Internal Medicine & Gastroenterology Care
Located in Teine Ward, Sapporo, our clinic specializes in internal medicine and gastroenterology, offering a broad range of medical services that include diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, sleep disorders, dementia, and smoking cessation counseling. We take particular pride in our “pain-free gastroscopy” approach, which utilizes a slim transnasal endoscope with an outer diameter of approximately 5 to 6 mm to bypass the gag reflex and significantly reduce patient discomfort during the examination. Furthermore, each patient receives a new, pre-sterilized disposable mouthpiece, reflecting our thorough commitment to hygiene and infection prevention.

Sapporo Yamanote Orthopedic Clinic
Clinic Introduction
Comprehensive Diagnostic Capabilities, Including Open MRI and Bone Density Measurement
Our clinic houses a HITACHI Open MRI system (AIRIS Vento), which features an open lateral design that allows patients with claustrophobia to undergo imaging comfortably. We offer a full spectrum of advanced diagnostic modalities, including DXA bone densitometry covering both the lumbar spine and proximal femur, ultrasound imaging, blood tests, and plain radiography — delivering a thorough diagnostic framework that goes well beyond what is typically found in an outpatient-only clinic. We also provide care for motor vehicle accident injuries, as well as procedures available exclusively in clinical settings, such as hydrorelease injections.
Individualized Care and Rehabilitation Grounded in Accurate Diagnosis
Guided by our founding principle of “reassurance and compassionate care,” we take great care to recognize the individuality of each patient’s condition. Establishing an accurate diagnosis is always our first priority, upon which we build a tailored treatment plan incorporating pharmacotherapy and rehabilitation as appropriate. Our rehabilitation suite features the Redcord, Power Plate, and Kinesis One, providing targeted support for musculoskeletal stabilization, muscle strengthening, and balance improvement. We firmly believe that certain conditions require a sustained, patient commitment over time — and we are dedicated to walking alongside each patient throughout their long-term recovery.
Convenient Access Through Online Booking and Same-Day Walk-In Queue
Same-day online appointments are available from 7:30 a.m., and we also welcome walk-in patients on a same-day sequential queue basis. Our clinic supports My Number Card insurance verification through the online eligibility confirmation system, making the registration process straightforward and efficient. Dr. Hideaki Nakano established the clinic in 2009, driven by a lifelong aspiration to “provide sincere, patient-centered medical care from the patient’s own perspective.” He takes time to thoroughly explain the underlying cause of each patient’s pain and the reasoning behind the recommended treatment, progressing through care step by step — without haste — as a committed partner in each patient’s long-term well-being.

Ohigesenseino-kodomo-clinic
Clinic Introduction
Private Examination Rooms and an Appointment-Only System to Prevent In-Clinic Infections
Ohige-sensei’s Children’s Clinic is equipped with nine private examination rooms. Every patient who visits our clinic is guided directly to a private room, where all procedures — including consultations, injections, intravenous infusions, and inhalation therapy — are completed within that same room, minimizing contact with other patients. Through our appointment-only system, we accept febrile patients regardless of whether they have visited us before, even during outbreaks or widespread transmission of emerging infectious diseases, so families can always count on receiving care when they need it most.
—
Child-Friendly Private Rooms With Infection Control as Our Core Commitment
Preventing in-clinic infections is the cornerstone of our clinical philosophy, and our entire practice is structured to minimize contact between patients at every step. Each private room is equipped with a television featuring the Disney Channel, picture books, and toys, so that children can spend their waiting time comfortably and at ease. Physicians use electronic medical records and bring their devices directly to each private room to conduct consultations. Out of an abundance of caution, we do not administer vaccinations during time slots when the risk of transmission tends to be elevated.
—
Convenient and Reassuring Patient Communication via LINE Reservations
To help every patient visit with confidence, we kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation with our appointment-only policy. Appointments and appointment inquiries can be made through our official LINE account, where you can also receive pre-visit reminders, clinic closure announcements, and vaccine-related updates. Because our private room setup reduces the risk of cross-infection throughout the day, we offer well-child checkups and vaccinations at any time, giving you the flexibility to plan your child’s visit with complete peace of mind.
