Revolutionary minimally invasive spine surgery
In case of limb surgery, doctors have performed surgery for many decades by entering between adjacent muscles to reach the bone without damaging the muscles and important neurohemal organs, however, posterior cervical surgery does not have such tradition and all the muscles are still removed from the cervical bone.
Soon after I became an independent spinal surgeon, I was distressed by a large number of patients who suffered over a long period from the after effects such as neck, shoulder and back pains, a stiff neck with difficulty in moving, or a forward head with difficulty in looking forward after spinal surgery. At the same time, I figured out the cause was from large damage to the neck muscles due to the surgery. Historically, spiral surgery should have separated all the muscles of the back of the neck from the bone. In order to solve the problem, a new neck operation technique, which would not damage the muscles, had to be developed. Since then, I had spent years staring at anatomical texts and spine models. One day, I could understand “Between muscles, everyone has a space.” In 1999, the first in spine surgery history, I developed minimally invasive spine surgery which is groundbreaking operation to just make a space between adjacent muscles without damaging the muscles.
Since then, I give lectures and technical instructions in various countries such as the U.S., Europe and Asia and have strived to provide as many patients as possible with less painful surgery without affecting neck function.
This is called the “Shiraishi’s muscle-sparing technique” in the world and has been widely known as a new standard for spine surgery.
Patient Consultation

2. Contact from the Clinic
We will respond to your request by fax or email.
The clinic makes a reservation for an inspection facility (medical scanning) for the patient.
An imaging test by medical scanning is basically conducted on the same day as our consultation.
3. On the day of Consultation
Please come to Shiraishi Spine Clinic.
Our location will be informed at the time of reservation.
An imaging test will be carried out prior to consultation on the same day. Please visit us after completing the test.
We take time about 30 to 45 minutes for a patient to give necessary information and consultation including diagnosis, explanation on the images and treatment.
More than 90% of the new patients who needed surgery had an operation by Dr. Shiraishi.
Greeting
Living in the unprecedented information society, we face various conflicting information. Medical care is no exception. I often hear patients who are exposed to a flood of information say “I am not sure which is the best for me, I don’t know what to trust.”
To respond to these voices, I have established a spine clinic specializing in second opinions.
I believe that second opinions should provide the final solution to the patients’ long-term serious problems.
Of course, our clinic is also available for a patient seeking a cutting-edge treatment for the first visit.
With determined staff, I am waiting to save as many patients as possible suffering from spine diseases.
