How does it work? Let's see!

🎯 What Heelex Offers

1. Low-Dose, Non‑Invasive X‑Ray Therapy

   • Applies low-energy x-rays directly to affected areas to reduce inflammation and stimulate healing without surgical intervention.

2. Conditions Treated

   • Chronic inflammatory/musculoskeletal: osteoarthritis (all joints), plantar fasciitis, bursitis, tendonitis (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles), Dupuytren’s Contracture, Ledderhose Disease, Peyronie’s Disease.

   • Wart removal (especially stubborn or diabetic warts).

   • Early-stage skin cancers like basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma, offering non-surgical options with high cure rates (>90%).

🛠️ How It Works – Treatment Flow

1. Consultation & Simulation

   • Initial visit includes imaging (x-ray simulation) to accurately map the treatment target and plan the personalized dose.

2. Treatment Sessions

   • Delivered outpatient—typically 5 minutes of radiation with total visit time ~15 minutes (includes setup and monitoring).

   • Patients lie on a padded table; the process is painless, and you can resume normal activities afterward.

3. Multidisciplinary Team

   • Overseen by a board-certified physician (radiology/radiation oncology), medical physicist, and registered therapy staff for precise, safe dose delivery.

4. Monitoring & Follow-up

   • Regular monitoring during treatment via audio/video.

   • Follow-up visits to assess symptom relief and decide on additional courses if necessary.

5. Insurance

   • Treatments are typically covered by insurance; staff will verify benefits before starting.

💡 Treatment Rationale & Mechanism

• Anti-inflammatory & regenerative effectsLow-dose x-rays modulate macrophages and cytokines, reducing inflammation, promoting tissue regeneration, and easing pain.

• Precision targetingUsing simulation images and advanced x-ray planning ensures only the affected tissue receives radiation—limiting exposure to surrounding structures.

🗓️ What to Expect

Step	Details
Duration	5-minute radiation dose per session
Frequency	Multiple sessions over days/weeks (e.g., 6), depending on condition
Aftercare	No downtime—just gentle activity encouraged
Follow‑up	Usually see symptom improvement over weeks; additional treatment may follow

✅ Summary

Heelex leverages gentle, outpatient low‑dose x‑ray therapy to treat a variety of osteoinflammatory and benign skin conditions, effectively reducing inflammation and promoting healing without surgery or downtime. The process is thoughtfully designed: from precise simulation-based targeting to painless sessions and multidisciplinary oversight.
