Providing standard and innovative treatment based on an overwhelming amount of evidence.

Dr. Mori, the director, has presented numerous academic papers and has published knowledge gained both domestically and internationally. Among these, the treatments reported for rotator cuff tears, acromioclavicular joint dislocation, and recurrent shoulder dislocation have been adopted as reference treatments by specialists worldwide for research at various facilities. Moreover, a lot of effort is put into explaining diseases related to shoulder joints through the website. In the clinic, particular emphasis is placed on ensuring patients understand their conditions.

Shoulder Joint Outpatient Clinic

The complaint 'I have frozen shoulder, will it heal?' and 'I have been monitoring the condition for about a year, but as the pain has been getting worse, I decided to come for a visit' are common. We provide guidance on whether to conduct interviews, examinations, and surgeries, or to continue conservative treatments. We also take on consultations from patients who have received treatments at other clinics.

• For individuals who feel a catching sensation:
  ・Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
  

【For those aged 40 to under 60】

• For individuals with shoulder pain and limited shoulder movement without a clear injury:
  ・Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
  ・Calcific Tendinitis

Elbow Joint - Common Elbow Conditions by Age Group

Baseball Elbow

This condition occurs due to improper pitching form or poor conditioning, leading to increased valgus stress (where the inside of the elbow opens and the outside is compressed) during pitching. It can result in medial epicondyle apophyseal fractures and medial epicondyle apophyseal separation due to the stretching of the inner part of the elbow. The lateral side can be compressed, causing osteochondritis dissecans of the capitellum, and the posterior side can experience olecranon apophyseal closure defects.
In the early stages, symptoms can be alleviated with physical therapy and improvement in pitching form, but delayed treatment for osteochondritis dissecans of the capitellum can lead to long-term complications.

Common Elbow Conditions in High School Athletes and Older

Similar to shoulder injuries, elbow issues often result from poor conditioning and abnormal physical function. Conservative therapies such as physical therapy form the basis of treatment, but individual approaches are necessary based on the diagnosis of specific conditions like medial collateral ligament injury, olecranon stress fractures, and posterior elbow impingement due to osteoarthritis of the elbow.

Elbow Conditions Across All Ages

Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow) is a common condition affecting both men and women, typically caused by long-term stress but can also occur in younger individuals, including those in their 30s. Treatments include exercise therapy, orthotic therapy, PRP therapy, and surgical therapy.
