Chronic Joint Pain — and Not Ready for Surgery?
Knee. Hip. Shoulder. Hand. Wherever it hurts, you've been through the usual cycle: rest, PT, NSAIDs, cortisone, maybe injections. Each one helped less than the last. Now you're being told the next step is surgery — and that's not where you want to land.
There's one more option before a surgical decision: Low-Dose Radiation Therapy.

What LDRT does
LDRT is a precise, non-surgical treatment that targets the inflammation driving chronic joint and tendon pain. Decades of European clinical evidence support its use in benign musculoskeletal disease. The mechanism is straightforward: low-dose, targeted radiation modulates inflammatory cells, reduces pain-generating cytokines, and shifts the local biology away from the chronic inflammation that keeps your pain self-sustaining.
No needles. No anesthesia. No incisions. No downtime. 6 to 8 brief, consecutive sessions for most conditions.

What patients typically want to know
Is it covered by insurance? Most major insurance is accepted — Medicare, BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, Tricare, ChampVA. We verify your specific benefits before treatment.
Do I need a referral? No.
How long until I notice improvement? Most patients experience gradual improvement over the weeks following the final session.
Is it safe? The doses used for benign musculoskeletal disease are a small fraction of cancer-treatment doses. LDRT for these conditions has decades of well-characterized clinical use.
