Healthy life
We care for the bones, joints and muscles, and work to keep the pain from coming back.
Men
Women
The years you can live without health problems limiting daily life are called healthy life expectancy. In Japan it is about 9 years shorter than life expectancy for men and about 12 years for women, and in those years people may need support or care.
Method
We look past the sore spot for the cause, align the skeleton and strengthen weakened muscles.
01
We correct a spine tilted by daily stress or long hours in one posture, on a Thompson table made for chiropractic work. Children and older people alike can have it.
02
Compound high-frequency EMS works the deep muscles that are hard to exercise. Thirty minutes lying down moves the muscles about 9,000 times.
03
So that the work lasts beyond the day, we show you the everyday habits and ways of walking that tilt the body. We also offer shoes and insoles that fit your feet.
Reasons
We look beyond what you feel to the cause of the pain, checking it as we treat. Regular visits help us work towards preventing pain.
We explain the cause of your symptoms and the treatment, then give you advice for daily life and a schedule of visits you can keep.
We work on both a tilted skeleton and strained muscles, and keep in touch on LINE after treatment.
Compound high-frequency EMS works the deep muscles 9,000 times in a 30-minute session. We also combine it with alignment in our Skeletal & Inner Muscle Program.
If you would rather talk to, or be treated by, a woman: a nationally licensed woman practitioner works here.
A 3-minute walk from Katsutadai Station (Keisei) and Toyo-Katsutadai Station (Toyo Rapid Line), with parking for four cars nearby. We are open until 8 pm on weekdays and 1 pm on Saturdays, so you can come after work.
Director
Hello, I am Ikeda, the clinic director.
Something you gave up because of an injury or pain, but would really like to do again — we begin by listening to that. Through easing your pain, we want to share with you the joy of doing again what you could not do. Everyone here gives it their all. Please feel free to get in touch.

Health insurance covers treatment for recent bruises, sprains and strains, and first aid for fractures and dislocations. For self-pay treatment we explain what it involves and what it costs before we begin.
We treat whiplash and other injuries from traffic accidents, and can advise you on the insurance company and the paperwork. In most cases there is nothing to pay at the clinic.
Care
So that good posture and walking last after the pain has eased.
Align the bones, then train the muscles without strain.
Bones and muscles begin to weaken around 40. Even so, the iliopsoas, behind a rounded back, an arched lower back and back pain, can be trained at any age.
Insoles used in some 30 countries.
Formthotics Medical are corrective insoles. We choose the model for your condition and heat-mould it to your foot and shoe.

K.M., 70s
Numbness began at the base of my toes, and after about two years a bump the size of a 50-yen coin appeared as well, and walking became difficult.
I wondered how much worse my foot would get. I was anxious about what I would do if I could no longer walk.
I searched online for “Morton”, and then the explanation with a model and the lesson on why shoelaces matter made it all click. While using insoles, I am also continuing exercises to regain my arch.
My first taping (arch support, I think?) felt very comfortable and I liked it. The second time, though, it hurt a great deal when it was peeled off, and I have had enough of that.
It has been a little over two months since I began coming to the clinic. The lump from the Morton’s neuroma is still there, but
I can now go about my life hardly noticing it.
On the way home from the clinic my steps are light, completely different from when I arrive, which surprises me.
I would like to have “Gacchan”, as it puts the whole body in balance, but 2,000 yen is a little much. Because insured treatment costs a little over 1,000 yen, I think I was able to keep coming. I am grateful.
N.M., 80s
I am being treated here for sciatica caused by spinal canal stenosis.
In the morning I walk in the park for my health. My symptoms used to be hard on me and even walking was difficult, but with Raku-tore (EMS muscle training) and alignment work, I can now walk steadily for four or five laps.
I was told that I could not keep my balance on one leg, and I had not realised that my balance had become this poor.
They measured my feet and carefully explained how to choose shoes and how to wear them. I had never worn shoes this properly before. I was prescribed insoles and am using them, and the fit is unlike anything I have felt before, which surprised me. I used to use insoles that a shoe shop had fitted for me, but this is a completely different level of comfort, and my walks are now a pleasure.
I look forward to your continued care.
