Ashino Clinic Omotesando to Launch 'Ballet Injury/Disorder Outpatient Clinic' and 'Minor Foot Surgery Outpatient Clinic' in June

Ashino Clinic Omotesando (Location: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Director: Yasushi Kuwabara) announced that it will launch two new specialized outpatient clinics on June 1, 2026: the 'Ballet Injury/Disorder Outpatient Clinic' and the 'Minor Foot Surgery Outpatient Clinic.'

As a medical institution specializing in foot-related diseases such as bunions and ingrown nails, Ashino Clinic Omotesando provides multi-faceted care. The new clinics aim to address areas with particularly high demand by meticulously analyzing the root causes of symptoms.

## Ballet Injury/Disorder Outpatient Clinic
This clinic specializes in ankle, toe, and knee injuries caused by classical ballet. By analyzing movement patterns unique to ballet, the clinic formulates individualized treatment plans, including rehabilitation and surgery, to support safe return to practice. The clinic is headed by Dr. Reiji Higashiyama and operates on Mondays and Sundays. Patients are asked to bring their ballet shoes for assessment.

## Minor Foot Surgery Outpatient Clinic
This clinic handles conditions such as tumors, corns, ingrown nails, and epidermal cysts. Because the foot is constantly subjected to weight-bearing during walking, treatment requires specialized management different from general dermatological care. The clinic is headed by Dr. Mami Shoji, and surgeries are performed on Fridays. In some cases, surgeries may be performed on the day of the initial consultation if symptoms are reported via email in advance.

When surgery represents the shortest route to recovery, the clinic proactively suggests it as an option. We provide the best treatment tailored to foot function and individual lifestyles. Please feel free to consult us regarding your foot concerns.
