RELIEF FOR ADVANCED OSTEOARTHRITIS
WITH LOW-DOSE THERAPEUTIC RADIATION

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, caused by cartilage degeneration in the joints. This leads to pain, stiffness, and bone-on-bone contact. It commonly affects the hands, knees, hips, and spine, impacting 1 in 7 Americans—a number expected to rise with aging populations. While there’s no cure, treatments aim to reduce pain and improve mobility.

How Does It Work?

LD-RT is delivered using a linear accelerator, precisely targeting affected joints while protecting surrounding tissues. The treatment consists of six short sessions over 2-3 weeks, with the option to repeat if pain recurs.

Who Should Consider LD-RT?

Ideal for those with persistent osteoarthritis pain, especially if other treatments have failed. However, it may not be suitable for patients under 50 or those with a history of radiation therapy for cancer.

Why Consider Low-Dose Therapeutic Radiation?

LD-RT is a non-invasive treatment that reduces inflammation and relieves pain without medication. It has been used for decades and is now re-emerging as an effective alternative.

–Painless & Quick: Sessions last just a few minutes.

–Minimal Side Effects: Low radiation doses reduce risk

–Long-Lasting Relief: Benefits can last up to two years

–Safe for Older Adults: A great option for persistent pain

–Works on Multiple Joints: Hands, knees, hips, spine & more

– Cost-Effective: Covered by many insurance plans
