In a city where everyone is as overworked as in Tokyo you’re bound to have a high number of people who suffer from back pain. As a result, there are a number of specialist clinics that can help cure you. The standard treatment here is chiropractic and you’ll find some good English-speaking practitioners. Expect to pay around ¥8,000 for an initial visit, or slightly more for a more comprehensive assessment.
The Tokyo Midtown Medical Center has taken things a step further by opening a comprehensive back care clinic. Here you can follow a treatment plan that combines chiropractic, osteopathy, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and a fitness program. Lionel Gougne offers craniosacral therapy for ¥15,000 per hour session. He also works with children and charges slightly less for this, but a child session typically only lasts 10 to 20 minutes.
