By loosening and releasing the deep restrictions (tight areas) within the body, tension throughout the body is balanced and reaches a natural balance for that person.

Painful and difficult problems
I think it's really tough to have constant pain somewhere in your body every day. At our clinic, we look at the whole body as a whole, and can identify and treat the points that are causing the symptoms and the points that are impeding the body's ability to heal. It is also recommended for those who have chronic symptoms that do not improve easily or have had symptoms for decades.
＜Examples of treatments listed＞
Lower back pain (lumbago) and stiff shoulders・Neck pain・Knee pain
Symptoms that don't improve no matter where you go/Symptoms that you've given up on
What makes our clinic different from other general chiropractic clinics is that we have a track record of improving symptoms that even hospitals have been unable to alleviate. We believe this is because we can relax a wide range of areas, such as the ligaments and ligaments that support the organs, and the skull, and restore blood flow and lymph flow over a wide area of the entire body. (*Treatment results may vary from person to person.)

Back pain (lumbago)/cough due to emphysema<Man in his 50s>
"I first suffered from a slipped disc in my 30s, and have been suffering from it for over 20 years. I have tried various treatments, from orthopedic surgeons to osteopaths, osteopaths, and acupuncturists, but they all only improved the immediate pain without any fundamental improvement. The pain recurs once or twice a year. I had given up, thinking that I would just have to live with my slipped disc for the rest of my life, while taking preventative measures every day.
At that time, a colleague at work introduced me to Dr. Tanigawa, and I started treatment with some skepticism. The first thing that changed was the condition of my lower back every morning. Before, I had to sit up slowly, worrying about my lower back, and do about 10 minutes of flexibility exercises while sitting in bed before I could move, but now I can move normally. I've gotten into the habit of moving cautiously because of the fear of back pain.
Once the symptoms appear, it lasts for at least three days, and if it is severe, you will be unable to move, so I will be truly grateful if it gets better like this.
As a parent who suffers from lower back pain (the root cause), I have seen my child's condition improve steadily, starting with adjusting his legs and moving on to treating his organs.
⚪︎Emphysema
I was hospitalized for about six months and my symptoms had improved, but I continued to cough while sleeping, so I consulted a doctor, who adjusted my trachea, which leads to my lungs.
The symptoms in my right lung were severe, so I would cough when sleeping on my right side, but after I started making the adjustments, the coughing subsided.
Thanks to this, I've been able to sleep better, so I hope to continue with the adjustments and see improvements."
30 years of stiff shoulders, changes in waist size, insomnia, tired legs, fatigue recovery <Woman in her 50s>
🌀It's gotten a lot better! Thank you!
⚫️ 30 years of shoulder pain gone
There is no relapse like with massage. Amazing!
⚫️ I got my pelvis misaligned and my sacrum misaligned, and my posture was corrected. Thanks to that, my waist got thinner!
⚫️ My bowed knees are now straight and together.
The way you stand and walk changes dramatically.
I was also considering taking walking lessons, but I realized the problem was with my pelvis.
⚫️ It wasn't that the bed mattress didn't fit me, but I was just too tired to sleep.
Improve insomnia. Sleep is really important!
⚫️ It wasn't that my shoes didn't fit, but my feet were exhausted. Now I can walk for long periods of time in any shoes without getting tired!
⚫️ Relax your body from the core and recover from fatigue!
Thanks to you, I am feeling full of energy.
Hunchback (posture improvement), eye makeup and shellfish allergy <Woman in her 40s>
Initially, I underwent monitoring to correct my shoulder blades, which were tending to sink in.
Although there was not a dramatic change in the protrusion of my shoulder blades after just one treatment, my shoulder stiffness disappeared and I felt as if my shoulder blades had returned to their natural position.
I told Dr. Tanigawa about the symptoms that concerned me the second and third time and continued to receive monitoring.
Also, about a year ago, when I wore eye makeup, I began to experience allergic reactions such as redness, itching, and rashes around my eyes, so I refrained from wearing eye makeup. However, I consulted Dr. Tanigawa and received treatment for the allergy.
What surprised me was that after the treatment, I no longer had any allergic reactions when wearing eye makeup, and my existing shellfish allergy was also cured.
By correcting the root cause of the allergy, other problems were also unexpectedly resolved.
After completing all the monitoring, the position of my shoulder blades, which was my initial concern, returned to normal and my posture improved.
I plan to continue having regular treatments as a form of maintenance.
Thank you, Professor Tanigawa.
Improved yoga performance, hip pain, weight loss (change in waist) <Woman in her 40s>
🌼During yoga, my strength, flexibility, sense of balance, and breathing depth have improved dramatically. By releasing the restrictions in my internal organs, I can now easily do poses that require me to curl my body tightly and compress it, or poses that require me to arch my back as much as I can, and the increased range of motion has allowed me to deepen my poses. There is almost no difference between the left and right sides.
🌼My hip pain caused by stress (which hurt even when walking) was cured after just one treatment.
🌼I lost 4kg, got rid of excess weight from my body, and gained a lighter, more comfortable feeling.
In particular, my waist and stomach area have gone down in size.
🌼In the craniosacral treatment, I experienced a journey deep into my inner self, and in the end, I saw an interesting image of myself in a coffin holding my own memorial tablet. I intuitively felt that I was letting go of the old ideas that I had acquired in my life that were no longer necessary, and being reborn as a new me.
Since that day, my intuition has become sharper, I have more realizations every day, and the things I truly need start to come to me naturally.
🌼Thanks to the treatment to remove the mental blocks, I was able to understand why I was blocking myself from making my wishes come true.
As I answered Professor Tanigawa's questions, I was shocked by the answers that came out of my mouth, and from then on I began a life of "no excuses"...lol.
I was truly surprised that I was able to find the answer that I had been unable to find even after reading many books, after just one treatment.
The wonderful thing about osteopathy is that it frees the mind and body, allowing you to return to your original, lively self and enhances your self-healing abilities.
And I think the point is that once the restrictions are released, they will not go back on unless something extraordinary happens.
By returning my mind and body to a neutral state, I felt like I was able to regain a sense of freshness, free from unnecessary attachments.
These are my impressions after receiving treatment once a month (a total of eight times) since January 2016.
I look forward to continuing to respectfully maintain my mind and body once a month.
I am grateful for meeting Professor Tanigawa.
Thank you for your continued support.
Skin changes (eczema, pigmentation), back pain, stiff shoulders, knee pain <Woman in her 40s>
I first encountered osteopathy through a friend's introduction. Before that, I had never heard of osteopathy at all.
I had many physical problems, including back pain, knee pain, stiff shoulders, decreased eyesight, diarrhea, and eczema.
In particular, I had eczema and pus on the back of my right hand, from the base of my thumb to just before my wrist, and it had been coming and going for over six months. I also had pigmentation, which was constantly noticeable and bothering me.
In that condition, after just the first treatment from Dr. Tanigawa, the eczema subsided and the pigmentation faded as if by magic.
Now, thanks to you, I have completely recovered.
As for my back pain and stiff shoulders, I work in an office job and have to sit in the same position for long periods of time. I couldn't escape the back pain and stiff shoulders. However, after Dr. Tanigawa found the area to treat and restricted me, and taught me some stretching techniques that I could do while sitting in a chair for long periods of time, the pain and stiffness were greatly alleviated.
As for the knee pain, it wasn't always there, but sometimes I felt a strange sensation in my left knee. When the therapist placed his hands on my left knee and hip for a while, it was difficult to describe, but I felt as if the pain and discomfort in my knee and hip were moving. After the treatment, the pain and discomfort disappeared, and are still present today.
The diarrhea started suddenly about a year and a half ago. Until then, I never had any problems unless I kept drinking very cold drinks. I ate well and had good bowel movements. I am currently trying to find the cause of the diarrhea.
I have experienced and felt many changes, and I now feel much more balanced both physically and mentally than I did before receiving osteopathic treatment.
I would like to continue coming once a month for maintenance to listen to the voice of my heart.
Thank you for your continued support, Professor Tanigawa.
Low body temperature, poor circulation, skin improvement (acne), fatigue <Male in his 20s>
"A health check revealed that I had ventricular and supraventricular premature contractions, as well as mitral regurgitation, and I was suspended from work, so I began to visit Dr. Tanigawa.
⚪️Changes after treatment
・My normal body temperature is higher than before.
My temperature used to be in the low 35s, but after treatment it has dropped to the low 36s.
Also, my feet were cold and I was prone to cold, but after receiving treatment, heat started circulating throughout my body.
・Improved blood circulation.
In addition to my body temperature, my blood circulation has improved, and my scalp has become less flaky and my acne has decreased significantly.
Also, I've been able to easily recover from daily fatigue by taking a bath and getting a good night's sleep.
・My heart used to be protruding, but now it's recessed.
The area of my chest around my heart was bulging and protruding, but after receiving treatment, it went back to normal and settled in place (no longer protruding)."
Sensitivity to cold, polycystic ovarian syndrome, lipoma, bow legs <Woman in her 30s>
① Poor circulation
I suffer from cold extremities, where the tips of my hands and feet get cold, so even in the hot summer I couldn't let go of a scarf when I was in a place with the air conditioner on. However, after receiving the treatment, I no longer felt cold after just one session.
In particular, when I wore sandals, my feet would get very cold and I would feel my whole body getting cold, but that has now gone away and I remain warm.
②Polycystic ovary syndrome (wanting to become pregnant)
I had a gynecological checkup and an ultrasound was taken, which showed that I might have polycystic ovarian syndrome, a condition in which too many eggs are produced in both ovaries, so I underwent treatment.
Although the treatment was not focused on the uterus or ovaries, I had my whole body adjusted once a week, and an ultrasound examination two months later confirmed that the left side had completely healed and that I was able to produce eggs properly. Since I had not done anything other than Otohoros, my gynecologist was surprised and asked, "Is this even possible?"
Currently, she is able to ovulate properly and is under observation. (※→She has since become a mother of three children.)
③ Lipoma on the back
I was not aware of it, but I found out that I had a lipoma about 4 cm in size on my back (between both shoulder blades), and it gradually grew over the course of several years, and by the time I came to Otohoros, it was XNUMX cm in size. Since it was neither painful nor itchy, I left it as it was, but the dermatologist told me that at this size, there was no way to get rid of it other than through surgery, so I asked for surgery.
After having it trimmed once, the area around the lipoma, which had been hard until then, softened and shrunk a little, and after having it trimmed again... I repeated this process until it had shrunk to 3cm.
I am satisfied with this change, because I had not planned to continue the treatment until it completely disappeared. Also, I think that if I continue the treatment more intensively, it will become a little smaller.
④ Your body will be in balance.
After the treatment, your body will feel better and you will definitely be told that your complexion looks better.
Also, even though the bones were not moved as in chiropractic treatment, the position of the pelvis was adjusted, and I was able to stand and walk straight (because I had a tendency to have bow legs).
Endometriosis/menstrual pain <Women in their 50s>
After the monitoring. Endometriosis
During one of the treatments, when the doctor touched my right ovary (the area where I have endometriosis), I felt something moving inside my stomach. (It felt a bit unpleasant...) I had my period several times (maybe twice) during the monitoring, but the pain was dramatically less than the period pain I had before.
Check-up on 9/18
↓ Results
The swelling in the ovaries has almost completely disappeared and they are now at normal size. (Note: The swelling in the right ovary was caused by endometrium formation, but the swelling has subsided and the ovary has returned to normal size.)
After finishing the monitoring, I have had my period about four times, and although there seems to be a difference between the left and right sides, the pain is tolerable without taking medication.
I have always had a cold right ankle before my period, and it is still a symptom today.
Sinusitis, stiff shoulders, constipation <Woman in her 60s>
"
I had been taking carbocisteine because of sinusitis, which caused pain between my eyebrows and a dull feeling of heaviness, but now I no longer need to take the medication and the pain and heaviness have almost completely disappeared.
- I had been suffering from persistent constipation, but after receiving treatment it gradually improved and I have had a bowel movement every day for the past week.
I have always suffered from severe shoulder stiffness, and have tried massages and warm treatments, but even if they helped temporarily, the condition would soon return to its original state. However, after receiving treatment, I no longer felt any stiffness in my shoulders, and I felt a great sense of relief.
Impressions after receiving treatment
The treatment was very easy because all I had to do was lie quietly. It felt like a light touch, and I was skeptical at first as to whether this would really help, but after a few treatments, my stiff shoulders and constipation improved, and the pain between my eyebrows disappeared, so I'm very happy.
I think it's good to not have to rely on medication."
Neck pain (whiplash), cough, gynecological illness <Woman in her 50s>
◇28 years ago, I fell headfirst down the stairs at home and injured my neck, which has been causing lasting neck problems for quite some time now.
I have been going to a chiropractor (a different chiropractic clinic) for the past three years, but there are several misaligned cervical vertebrae that have become stiff, so it is taking a long time to fully recover.
Although I am gradually getting better, the pain in my neck has not gone away even after two years and several months of going to another chiropractic clinic, and I continue to suffer through these painful days.
I received osteopathic treatment for the first time on the recommendation of a friend, and my parent (the area being treated) was in the chest area, and the cause of the blockage in my heart that day was removed.
Later, through chiropractic treatment, several of the misalignments in my neck were resolved. The stiff parts began to move, and my neck became more comfortable.
On another day, when my parent (the treatment area) had pain in their neck, on the way home and after they got home, while they were going about their normal activities and daily life, they suddenly heard a popping sound in their neck and the pain went away.
Since then, I have not had any problems with neck pain.
After that, the second cervical vertebra and the stiffest part of the neck appeared as the parent (treatment point). The stiffness in this area also disappeared later, and the condition of the neck improved in a short period of time after receiving osteopathy.
◇ TerriblecoughThis continued, and because I work at a call center, I was unable to work and had to take time off work. The next day after I had the treatment, I was able to talk on the phone normally, which was unbelievable, and was able to return to work.
◇I had a gynecological disease and my vagina started hurting during the healing process. When I had the pain approached (this means that they searched for a place in another part of the body where the pain would be relieved and performed on that place. Of course, they did not directly touch the delicate parts during the treatment), the painful part reacted with a throbbing pain, and then the pain disappeared.
◇Tinnitus started last December. I'm still not cured, but as my body improves, I feel like the tinnitus is quieter on more days.
Osteopathy is just the sensation of placing hands on the body, but the hands are just the right temperature, which feels good both physically and mentally. And you can feel your body reacting in that moment.
And it has an immediate effect.
I wanted people who are suffering from physical problems or illnesses to know about this.
At first, I had never heard of it and was nervous about receiving the treatment, but once I thought outside the box, I discovered something so wonderful.
I am truly glad that I met you. Thank you very much.
And I think this is all thanks to Professor Tanigawa's amazing skills.
I am grateful that the teacher taught me various methods that I can use in my daily life, such as how to relieve pain, how to boost my immunity, and how to do self-care.
Kind words always lift my spirits and brighten my mood.
Please do reopen somewhere near you!
Please continue to help me take care of my body and mind.
Thank you.
Heaviness in limbs and body; insomnia (waking up at certain times) <Male in his 30s>
I started going to Otohoros (the former name of our clinic) after a friend introduced me to it.
During my two years stationed in Indonesia, I was physically and mentally damaged and was constantly suffering from severe symptoms all over my body.
In addition, he had insomnia symptoms, such as waking up at a certain time in the morning and not being able to fall asleep.
To put it simply, it may be that I have a "disorder of the autonomic nervous system," but I had no idea what to do about it, so I decided to seek help from a chiropractor who I found to be more "interesting" than my friend.
From the first diagnosis, I was extremely suspicious, but more than that, I was impressed by the way he patiently answered my questions. Above all, his "physical reaction" was as if it was predicted, and even if I thought something was suspicious in my head, my body moved, so I felt like I should just follow it.
So, what exactly has changed and how?
"My limbs are heavy, my body is heavy"
After looking into it, they concluded that it was probably humidity.
Personally, I thought that "when something bad happens, my body becomes heavy," but it turns out that some of my internal organs are being affected by moisture. Water. I was trying to get that regulated, but...
① The symptoms clearly improved (although it took about half a year)
② You will become more sensitive to changes in your body, so you will be able to tell when your body might feel heavy. You will also be able to understand the physical reasons for your body feeling heavy, so instead of viewing "feeling heavy" as a negative thing, you will be able to view it as a natural occurrence.
② is important to me, and although I still have severe symptoms, I no longer mind them. Rather, when it gets worse, I know that "it will rain tomorrow," and nothing more.
"Wake up at a certain time"
→As with the previous section, this is also gradually improving.
The difference between now and the past is that I no longer see "things happening" as negative. In the past, I would think, "It happened! This never happened when I was younger, so there must be something wrong with my body!" But that's no longer the case.
My body changes over time, and by facing this change, I am able to perceive it as an event.
Writing like this may sound like a bit of an occult "spiritual world" story (although it is an area I don't understand myself).
I think it's a treatment that is backed by a clear physical presence.
✔︎ By having the teacher place his/her hands on the brain, the patient can feel the membranes of the brain.
✔︎ Feeling a general pulsation of the internal organs
This is something I have experienced many times during treatment, and although I don't know what effect it ultimately has, my body can feel it.
In addition, I really like the fact that treatments are performed using a variety of approaches.
I have been going there for about 1.5 years (once or twice a month), and they also help with any occasional discomfort or physical discomfort I have.
As I wrote above, the body is constantly changing, so they use different techniques to address each change. So sometimes they say, "There's no problem, so let's do a treatment that will improve your performance."
Having written this much, I may feel like I have mastered everything, but I will also write about one thing that I feel I cannot do.
I have a tendency to dislocate my left shoulder, but I couldn't do anything about it. I tried various things as a challenging area, but I couldn't prevent the dislocation. It's probably because you can't "restore what has been physically torn."
However, it helps correct any distortions in your body that may occur during that time.
Whether you believe it or not is up to each individual. Again, each person's body is different. However, if you have the opportunity to read this text, it means that you are interested in this worldview, so I strongly recommend that you go at least once, even if you think you might be deceived.
If it doesn't suit you, don't go.
Bunion, stiff shoulders, lower back pain, bow legs <Woman in her 50s>
"My bunion symptoms had progressed to the point where my left big toe was curling inwards and I was no longer able to open my hand, but after about 50 minutes of treatment, my big toe was able to open outwards without any problems. I was so surprised that something like this could be cured!
So far, he has cured my stiff shoulders, back pain, and bow legs. Thanks to him, I no longer need to see a doctor."
Uterine dysplasia, lower back pain, poor circulation <Woman in her 40s>
(This was reported via email.)
"Today, I went to the gynecologist to get the results of my cancer screening.
The uterine cell dysplasia had subsided.
The test results don't seem to indicate that the dysplasia has completely disappeared.
There was a statement that the result was negative, which was not present last time.
The doctor said, "There were a few abnormal cells before, but this time there weren't even any."
Until now, I have had follow-up checks every three months, but my next check-up will be in six months.
There was one time in the past where the dysplasia was detected six months later.
It's been happening every three months recently, so I'm relieved to see that it's getting better.
I believe that this was largely thanks to Tanigawa-san's coordination.
My back pain has almost completely disappeared, and I feel like my body's chilliness has somehow improved.
thank you very much. "
(From a message received about three years later)
"I had uterine dysplasia, but it hasn't recurred since then.
I am truly grateful. Although I have some minor aches and pains here and there, I feel generally healthy.
But if it was nearby I'd like to have it checked out.
Even when things go wrong, it’s hard to find a place to fit in.”
Head discomfort (renal failure) <Woman in her 60s>
"I met Dr. Tanigawa through my daughter's introduction about three years after I started dialysis. I was still in poor health and it was a difficult time, but when I received treatment from Dr. Tanigawa for the first time, the discomfort in my head that I had been feeling for a long time disappeared as if by magic.
I am grateful that I was able to gradually improve from a life-threatening illness thanks to Dr. Tanigawa's scalp treatment. Thank you very much."
<30s, female> Hyperventilation, panic disorder
What were you worried about before taking the course?
Until then, I had been feeling that my autonomic nervous system was not working properly, but one day I started hyperventilating and developed a panic disorder.
At first, I was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and even after I was sent home, my whole body was shaking and I was bedridden for days. My condition was so severe that I could not even walk outside, but I really did not want to take medication so I asked for treatment.
How did you feel from the beginning to midway through the course?
Immediately after I developed a panic disorder, I felt like I had forgotten how to breathe, but immediately after receiving the treatment I felt my breathing become deeper.
I also started hyperventilating due to pain in the area from my heart to diaphragm and the fear of it, and I also had a strange experience where I saw a light running from that area throughout my body.
I don't remember the details because I was suffering from so many different symptoms, but the pain around my diaphragm went away pretty quickly.
After several months of treatment, I was able to go for walks and even ride the train by myself for a few stations, although I was still nervous.
・How did you change after taking the course to the end? If there is anything you would recommend, what would it be?
The best thing about him is that he is a very honest teacher.
The way he treated me with all his heart and listened to me was very encouraging as I fought an unknown illness for myself.
I learned at that time that the tension in the body changes depending on the image and the way you perceive things, but if you can't build a relationship of trust, your body won't be able to rest,
I think the most important thing is to find a teacher you can trust.
Since he was a teacher who worked with me to think about my body, I was then able to think for myself about how I should interact with my own body.
Thank you very much for that time.
Thank you for reading to the end.
