Omotesando station has easy access to major railway stations, Shibuya, Harajuku, Ebisu, Tameikesanno and Roppongi. Second and third generation chiropractors, Nobu and Kei Takeyachi have been providing chiropractic care to not only local Japanese people but also international communities in Tokyo. They are both English speaking chiropractors.
Originally Yoneo Takeyachi who was one of early Japanese chiropractors established Tokyo Chiropractic Research Office in Aoyama, Minato ward, Tokyo in 1949. Later in 1977 Yoneo's three sons, Hiroaki, Kazuyoshi and Nobuyoshi who all graduated from National College of Chiropractic, USA (National University of Health Sciences) reopened as Tokyo Chiropractic Center adjoining a medical clinic (Takeyachi Clinic) which had an X-ray facility within the place. In 2011 Tokyo Chiropractic opened in the vicinity as the successor to Tokyo Chiropractic Center, which is a certified office by the Japanese Association of Chiropractors (JAC), a national member of the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) affiliated with the World Health Organization (WHO). People from over 100 countries have visited our clinic until today.
Chiropractic (comes from the Greek word meaning "treatment by hand") is a natural healing health care with spinal manipulation (or adjustment) to improve nerve function and restore general health in a surgery-free, drugless environment. As the nervous system consisting of the brain, the spinal cord, and the nerve roots, controls every function of the human body, chiropractors primarily focus on the spine that protects the nervous system. Chiropractic was first introduced in 1895 by D.D. Palmer in the US and was brought into Japan by Saburo Kawaguchi in 1916. In 2005, World Health Organization (WHO) published the official guidelines on basic training and safety in chiropractic, and the practice of chiropractic is regulated by law in 50 countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Switzerland, etc. The objective of chiropractic treatment is to relieve nerve interference and emphasize the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself by correcting misalignment of the spine and other joints. As a result, treatment helps many conditions including musculoskeletal symptoms.
At your initial visit, it takes about 45 minutes for performing examinations (postural exam, neurological exam, orthopedic exam, physical exam etc.) and chiropractic treatment. Along with the treatment home exercises to improve your body function are advised. If necessary we ask you to take X-ray or MRI at your local hospital or clinic before starting chiropractic treatment. From the second visit it tales about 20 minutes. People living in a big city like Tokyo are under stress and suffer from various musculoskeletal problems due to office work and manual work. Chiropractic treatment helps you achieve optimum health by improving your natural healing ability. If you need to rest your body after chiropractic care, you can use a relaxation chair in our clinic.
