Conditions We Treat With Radiation Therapy
Many chronic musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions can cause ongoing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, interfering with daily life. When symptoms persist despite conservative treatments, advanced therapies may help improve comfort and function for the following conditions:
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis can cause chronic joint pain, stiffness, and swelling in the knees and hips. These symptoms may make walking, climbing stairs, and other everyday activities more difficult.
Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spurs
Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs often lead to persistent heel pain. They can limit physical activity and impact your overall quality of life.
Dupuytren’s Disease and Plantar Fibromatosis
These conditions involve abnormal thickening of hand and foot tissue. Over time, they may restrict movement and interfere with normal hand or foot function.
Achilles Tendinopathy and Rotator Cuff Syndrome
Irritation and inflammation of the tendons around the elbow joint cause tennis and golfer’s elbow. You may experience pain, tenderness, and weakness in the forearm, wrist, and hand.
Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow
Achilles tendinopathy and rotator cuff syndrome can lead to persistent tendon pain, inflammation, and stiffness.
Keloids
Keloids are raised areas of excess scar tissue that may continue to grow beyond the original injury site.
Why Consider Radiation Therapy?
Radiation therapy can be an effective option for managing chronic pain and inflammation when other treatments haven’t provided lasting relief. This non-invasive approach can help reduce symptoms while allowing you to continue normal daily activities. Here’s why it’s worth considering:
Clinically Proven
Research has shown that radiation therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with certain degenerative and inflammatory conditions.
Non-invasive and Painless
Treatments are quick, comfortable, and performed on an outpatient basis, with no surgery or downtime required.
Minimal Risk
We carefully tailor low-dose radiation to provide effective symptom relief while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. Side effects are typically minimal.
If you’ve tried medications, injections, or physical therapy without success, radiation therapy may provide the relief you’ve been seeking. Many insurance plans don’t require a referral.
