現在、以下の専門分野の医師を募集しております：Our Mission

At Kyoto Kihara Hospital, we are committed to promoting safe and minimally invasive surgical and medical treatments—such as our original K-method—to as many people as possible. By providing care before conditions become irreversible, we aim to help individuals avoid becoming wheelchair-bound or bedridden. Through this, we hope to contribute to extending healthy life expectancy and improving the overall well-being of our community and society.

私たちは、K-methodをはじめとする低侵襲かつ安全な手術や治療を通じて、首や腰の疾患に悩むすべての方々が、手遅れになる前に適切な医療を受けられる社会の実現を目指します。

高齢化が進む日本をはじめとする先進国において、健康寿命の延伸は喫緊の課題です。脊椎脊髄疾患、特に頸椎の問題は、進行すれば手足の麻痺や寝たきりといった深刻な結果を招きかねません。私たちは、こうした疾患が引き起こす将来的な介護リスクを減らし、自立した生活を最後まで続けられる人を一人でも多く増やすことに貢献したいと考えています。

そのために、症状が軽いうちからの早期発見と早期治療の重要性を伝え、治療に対する不安や誤解を解消し、安心して手術に臨める環境づくりに尽力します。地域の皆さま、そしてそのご家族に寄り添いながら、私たちは日本、そして世界の健康寿命を支える医療を提供し続けます。

K-methodをはじめとする低侵襲で安全な手術や治療をひとりでも多くの方々に知ってもらいたい


超高齢化社会へ向かう日本をはじめとする先進国が抱える大きな課題は健康寿命をいかに延ばしていくか

日本人の寿命は世界でもトップクラスですが高齢化社会の今、寿命の質、いわゆる健康寿命が問題となっています。というのも最近の統計で平均、男性で9～10年、女性で14～15年、晩年は車椅子や寝たきりあるいは認知症により自立した生活がおくれず、何らかの医療や介護を必要とする状態であることが明らかになったからです。

今後、超高齢化社会へ向かう日本をはじめとする先進国で、健康寿命をいかに延ばしていくかということが本人や家族のみならず、地域や社会にとっても大きな課題と言えます。

課題克服のポイントは、老化や姿勢、生活習慣と密接にかかわる脊椎脊髄疾患、いわゆる首や腰の病気

課題克服の大切な要素として「車椅子や寝たきりの人を減らし、最後まで自立した生活や人生を全うするにはどうしたらよいか。」という点が挙げられます。

その点において重要なポイントとなる疾患が老化や姿勢、生活習慣と密接にかかわる脊椎脊髄疾患、いわゆる首や腰の病気です。

特に首の異常にともなう問題は深刻です。なぜなら首の神経は、腰と違い素麺のような細い神経の束に分かれていないため、一本の太い棒のような脊髄神経のままです。そのため、変形や狭窄などさまざまな要因による脊髄神経の圧迫と、日常生活に支障をきたす手足の痺れや麻痺などの大きな障害は常に背中合わせです。

手遅れになる前に手術などの適切な治療を受けることが肝要です

手足の痺れや痛みを自覚しながら放置して生活している間に、転倒や追突事故などによって即座に重篤な麻痺や耐えがたい痺れや痛みを引き起こすこともあります。運悪く打ちどころが悪いと、そのまま一生車椅子や寝たきりになる危険もはらんでいます。（脊髄損傷で車椅子や寝たきりになるのはこのようなケースです。）

そのような取り返しのつかない状態や手遅れになるのを防ぐためには、肩こりや首の痛み、手の痺れなどのサインを感じたら専門医に検査を依頼し、必要ならば手遅れになる前に手術などの適切な治療を受けることが肝要です。

日本では首や腰の手術、特に首の手術は手術をしても良くならない、或いは手術を失敗すると車椅子や寝たきりになってしまうという恐怖心や先入感が強いため、避けたり逃げたりしている間に転んだりぶつかったりして車椅子や寝たきりになってしまう場合が多々あります。


低侵襲（負担の少ない）で安全な手術や治療をひとりでも多くの方々に知ってもらいたい

京都木原病院はK-methodをはじめとする低侵襲（負担の少ない）で安全な手術や治療をひとりでも多くの方々に知ってもらいたいと考えます。そして、手遅れになる前に治療させていただくことにより、車椅子や寝たきり予備軍の人々を救い、ひいては地域や社会の健康寿命を延ばすことにつながることを願っています。

About Kyoto Kihara Hospital

At our clinic, we treat spinal cord disorders (spinal canal stenosis, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, herniated discs, etc.) in the neck, chest, and lower back. We provide consistent support from consultation to surgery and post-operative checkups. In addition, under the slogan "Walk to 100," we also focus on spinal checkups aimed at extending healthy lifespans. If you are suffering from neck or lower back pain, numbness in the hands and feet, or difficulty walking, please come and see us.


idea

"Jishinmyoshu" is a word that comes from Buddhist scriptures, and means to use excellent medical techniques (superior medical techniques to cure illnesses) with compassion (a heart that cares for and is considerate to patients).

Kyoto Kihara Hospital aims to provide medical care that "shares the greatest smiles and joy with patients" by making full use of safe and minimally invasive medical techniques, including the "K-method," based on this "Jishinmyoshu" philosophy.

Basic Policy

With the motto "Medicine is for the people and for the world," we are constantly making our own efforts and studying to provide world-class medical care and nursing.

There is a saying that goes, "Put yourself in someone else's shoes," and this is exactly what happens in the hospital.

We hospital staff always take the question, "What kind of treatment and nursing would you want if you or a family member were to suffer from the same disease?" as our starting point, and today we continue to face illnesses together with our patients.

I want as many people as possible to know about minimally invasive and safe surgeries and treatments, including the K-method.

A major challenge facing Japan and other developed countries as they move towards a super-aging society is how to extend healthy lifespan.

The life expectancy of Japanese people is among the highest in the world, but in today's aging society, the quality of life expectancy, or what is called healthy life expectancy, is becoming an issue. This is because recent statistics have revealed that, on average, men live 9-10 years and women 14-15 years, and in their later years, they are wheelchair-bound, bedridden, or unable to live independently due to dementia, and require some form of medical care or nursing care.

In the future, in developed countries such as Japan, which are heading towards becoming super-aging societies, how to extend healthy life expectancy will be a major issue not only for individuals and their families, but also for the local community and society.


The key to overcoming these challenges is spinal cord disorders, or so-called neck and lower back disorders, which are closely related to aging, posture, and lifestyle habits.

An important factor in overcoming these challenges is "how to reduce the number of people who are wheelchair-bound or bedridden, and enable them to live independent lives and fulfill their lives until the very end." An

important point in this regard is spinal cord diseases, or so-called neck and lower back diseases, which are closely related to aging, posture, and lifestyle habits.

Problems associated with abnormalities in the neck are particularly serious. Unlike the lower back, the nerves in the neck are not divided into a bundle of thin nerves like somen noodles, but remain a single thick rod-like spinal nerve. Therefore, compression of the spinal nerves due to various factors such as deformation and stenosis, and major disorders such as numbness and paralysis of the hands and feet that interfere with daily life, are always back to back.

It is important to receive appropriate treatment, such as surgery, before it is too late.

While you are aware of the numbness and pain in your limbs and go about your life ignoring it, a fall or a rear-end collision can instantly cause severe paralysis or unbearable numbness and pain. If you are unlucky enough to be hit in the wrong place, you run the risk of becoming wheelchair-bound or bedridden for the rest of your life. (This is the case when spinal cord injuries lead to being wheelchair-bound or bedridden.)

In order to prevent such irreversible conditions or until it is too late, if you experience any signs such as stiff shoulders, neck pain, or numbness in the hands, it is important to seek medical attention from a specialist and, if necessary, receive appropriate treatment such as surgery before it is too late.

In Japan, there is a strong fear and preconceived notion that neck or back surgery, especially neck surgery, will not improve the condition or will result in the patient becoming wheelchair-bound or bedridden if the surgery is unsuccessful. As a result, many patients end up falling or bumping into things while trying to avoid or run away, resulting in them becoming wheelchair-bound or bedridden.

I want as many people as possible to know about minimally invasive (low-stress) and safe surgeries and treatments.

Kyoto Kihara Hospital wants as many people as possible to know about minimally invasive (low-stress) and safe surgeries and treatments, including the K-method. We hope that by providing treatment before it is too late, we can save people who are at risk of becoming wheelchair-bound or bedridden, and ultimately extend the healthy lifespan of the community and society.
