Low Dose Radiation Therapy (LDRT) may be a solution if you are in pain with an osteoarthritis diagnosis.
What is Low Dose Radiation Therapy? (LDRT)
LDRT for osteoarthritis is a non-invasive, anti-inflammatory treatment that uses small, targeted radiation doses, to eliminate chronic pain and improve joint mobility when conventional treatments fail. LDRT spares cartilage damage and stimulates healing in inflamed cells for longer-lasting pain relief.

Why consider LDRT?
Low-Dose Radiation Therapy is considered a superior alternative to steroid injections for chronic osteoarthritis (OA) because it can provide longer-lasting pain relief, avoid the cartilage damage associated with steroids, and act as an anti-inflammatory that modulates immune responses to the inflamed cells rather than just masking symptoms.
How effective is LDRT?
Studies show high pain relief response rates, which are monitored by your physician to determine the number of treatments needed.
Who is a candidate for LDRT?
- Patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis.
- Patients with treatment-resistant osteoarthritis (Patients who have chronic and persistent pain symptoms or functional limitations.)
- Patients who are not recommended for surgery due to heart conditions, or other limiting factors.
