Nogizaka YM Clinic

Nice to meet you, my name is Yoshiro Mononobe.

​

Since my university days, I have been interested in shoulder stiffness and lower back pain, which many people suffer from but for which there is no established treatment. Even after becoming a doctor, I have worked in the fields of general medicine, orthopedics, and sports medicine, and have gradually researched shoulder stiffness and lower back pain.

What I realized in the process was that shoulder stiffness and back pain can cause various symptoms such as headaches and dizziness. There are people whose motivation and enthusiasm in daily life is significantly restricted. There are many young people as well as elderly people who suffer from this condition (the youngest person I have experienced this was a 6-year-old).

For this reason, I have been thinking about the treatment of stiff shoulders and lower back pain from a multidisciplinary perspective, with the sole desire to somehow help patients. As a result, I have come to the conclusion that in order to achieve early pain relief and treatment, accurate diagnosis, accurate examination, injections in the right places, and appropriate prescriptions are necessary. (This may go without saying, but to achieve this, I think it is necessary to have knowledge from various fields, regardless of whether it be internal medicine or orthopedics, and experience such as actually looking inside the human body through surgery.)

Recently, the treatment results for patients at the clinic where I work have been improving, but if I try to go further, it takes a lot of time, and there is not enough time in the outpatient department. I have received constant requests from patients who want me to adjust their bodies more and look at various parts of their body, so I thought it would be good to have a clinic that takes the time to provide thorough treatment, and so I have decided to open a specialized outpatient clinic for stiff shoulders and lower back pain.

I hope that I can help people who are suffering from stiff shoulders and back pain, even if just a little. If you are interested, I would be grateful if you would come and see me. Thank you very much.
