imho, might be best to try popular medicine before trying alternative medicines like osteopathy.
There is a sports clinic in Shibuya that could be within limping distance. I went there for a while after some surgery. It looks like they speak English (second link).

Just go to the doctor. Don’t skimp out here. I hope you go to the doctor, and will get told that it is nothing, you should rest and not do any cycling for three weeks. But you don’t know that.
Like the others said, sports injuries need to be treated immediately. A few years ago I fell from my bike while in the mountains with my friends. I was pretty bloody, but no major injuries. Just a scraped knee and severe road rash on my hands. Fortunately, my mom works in an orthopedic hospital, so my friends dropped me off at my parents’s house which is 2 km from the hospital my mom works at. My mom took a brief look at my knee and said right away “You will need surgery.” She was right: The wound was so deep small stones and dirt had penetrated the protective layer around my knee joint (which is yellowish, and because she could see this yellowish tissue my mom connected the dots). If it wasn’t taken out, it’d get infected and my joint might have stiffed up as a result.

Hi All,
My wife and I will be traveling to Japan soon for 5 weeks of cycling. I was just put on blood thinners after a second pulmonary embolism. Anyone know if Praxbind, the reversal agent for Pradaxa, is widely available in Japan? Anyone else cycling on blood thinners? Any additional precautions you take, e.g., Road ID, notice on home screen of phone?
Thanks,
Doug

A quick search showed Praxbind was approved in Japan in 2016 and costs around 200,000 yen per vial, but I doin't know if it is widely available. Maybe try sending a brief email to the guy on this page: http://www.med.tohoku.ac.jp/english/about/laboratory/165.html
