Shinonome Orthopaedic surgery clinic

Shinonome Orthopaedic Surgery Clinic sits in the Shinonome area of Koto Ward — a residential pocket of eastern Tokyo that doesn’t see many foreign patients. This is a straightforward neighborhood orthopedic clinic handling the usual suspects: back pain, joint issues, sports injuries, fractures, post-surgical rehab. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a good sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation at the front desk. Realistically, this is a Japanese-first environment. If you need orthopedic care in Koto and you’re willing to use a translation app or bring a Japanese-speaking friend, this clinic is worth knowing about. It’s not a foreigner-specialist clinic, but it covers solid, everyday musculoskeletal care close to home for expats living in the Shinonome, Tatsumi, or Tatsumi area.
