Overview of Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment
It can be daunting to receive treatment in a foreign country where you don't speak the language. This is especially true for Rheumatoid Arthritis, which worsens without regular proper treatment.
As specialists in the treatment of both Rheumatoid and inflammatory arthritis, we provide evidence-based, cutting-edge, compassionate treatment.
We see foreign patients and can communicate in basic English. For complex consultations, we recommend bringing a Japanese-speaking companion if possible.
