​About Dr. Kazuomi Arai, DC

​

I am Dr. Kazuomi Arai, DC, a California-licensed Doctor of Chiropractic and founder of Dr. Arai Chiropractic Tokyo (formerly Tokyo Healing Arts Center).

After moving to the United States in 1999, I studied sports medicine, rehabilitation, and human biomechanics before earning my Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree in California in 2005.

From 2007 to 2009, I served as the Clinic Director of a multidisciplinary clinic in Pacific Palisades, California. During this period, our company held a professional Fascia Release and Scar Tissue release  care contract with Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles Galaxy, providing hands-on musculoskeletal care for elite athletes.

Following my return to Japan, I became the Japan Representative and Instructor for Active Release Techniques (ART) from 2012 to 2018, teaching advanced soft-tissue treatment techniques to chiropractors, physicians, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and other healthcare professionals throughout Japan.

Today, with more than 20 years of clinical experience, I specialize in the assessment and treatment of:

• Neck pain

• Back pain

• Shoulder pain and Frozen Shoulder

• Muscle injuries

• Tendon injuries

• Ligament injuries

• Joint dysfunction

• Sports injuries

• Postural problems

• Travel-related stiffness and jet lag recovery

Rather than simply treating the area where pain is felt, I evaluate how the entire body moves. My approach focuses on restoring normal movement of the muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, joints, and nervous system to help patients move more comfortably and perform at their best.

Over the years, I have treated professional athletes, Olympic athletes, executives, physicians, attorneys, business leaders, international travelers, expatriates, and patients seeking conservative care before considering surgery.

Whether you are visiting Tokyo or living here long-term, my goal is to provide individualized, evidence-informed care in English, helping you recover from pain, improve mobility, and return to the activities you enjoy.
