Non-Oncologic Disease Program

We evaluate the patients’ needs and determine the dose of radiation and the number of sessions needed to offer best outcome or relief from their condition. 

Low-dose radiation can help manage and relieve symptoms from inflammatory joint issues (osteoarthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis) offering a safe and effective option for patients who cannot tolerate medications or wish to delay or avoid surgery. It has an excellent safety profile and may even be administered a second time without acute or long-term side effects. The treatment is typically delivered in six sessions over two to three weeks.

Patients receiving low-dose radiation for inflammatory joint conditions often notice relief soon after completing treatment. Studies show that about two-thirds to three-quarters of patients experience significant pain reduction that can last six to twelve months or even longer.  Patients receiving higher dose radiotherapy for other conditions may require a longer time period to see relief in symptoms.
