What is Low-Dose Radiation Therapy for Osteoarthritis?

A safe, non-invasive treatment using targeted, low doses of radiation to reduce joint pain and inflammation caused by osteoarthritis.

How Does it Work?

Research suggests it works by promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation - the primary cause of osteoarthritis pain and stiffness - as follows:

• Activates anti-inflammatory processes in the targeted area 
• Disrupts pain signals to relieve discomfort leading to a pain reduction in the affected joint
• Promotes tissue healing and regeneration by improving blood flow and oxygenation
• Altering activity of immune cells which contribute to joint inflammation and damage

Who Should Consider this Treatment?

Ideal for patients over age 50 with one or more of the following conditions:

• Osteoarthritis not responding to medications, injections, or physical therapy
• Localized joint pain (e.g., knees, hands, ankles)
• Pain that limits everyday activities and reduces quality of life
• If you need or want to delay surgery on an affected joint
• You should wait at least three months before surgery after your last treatment

Benefits of Low-Dose Radiation:

• Pain Relief: Noticeable improvement after as few as 6 treatments
• Improved Mobility: Less pain means more freedom to enjoy daily life
• Non-Invasive: No surgery, minimal side effects, and no downtime 

Treatment Process – What to Expect

1. Consultation: Evaluation and meeting with a Radiation Oncologist to determine eligibility
2. Planning scan: A CT scan helps customize your treatment for maximum efficacy
3. Scheduling: Typically six quick, outpatient treatments over a few weeks —just minutes per session

Risk & Side Effects

• Mild fatigue or skin irritation may occur, but serious side effects are rare
• The radiation dose is low and carefully targeted to ensure safety
