Kanagawa Arthritis Clinic is a new rheumatology clinic that opened in Shin-Yokohama. The concept of rheumatoid arthritis treatment is the same as Tokyo Arthritis Clinic.

Overview regarding the current state of Rheumatoid arthritis treatment in Japan

It can be daunting to come to a foreign country where you don't understand the language and attempt to treat your illness.

This is especially true in the case of Rheumatoid Arthritis,as it worsens without regular proper treatment. Concerning Japanese hospitals,the wait time can be very long, and unfortunately, the family doctor system is inefficient.It can also be a challenge deciding which hospital to select when choosing a doctor.

As specialists in the treatment of both Rheumatoid and inflammatory arthritis, we provide evidence-based, cutting-edge, compassionate treatment.
