Living with osteoarthritis joint pain can be frustrating and exhausting. At Alliance Cancer Center, we’re proud to offer Low-Dose Radiation Therapy (LDRT), a proven, non-invasive option that helps reduce joint pain and inflammation without the need for surgery, injections, or long-term medications.

How Does Low-Dose Radiation Therapy (LDRT) Work?

Low-Dose Radiation Therapy uses very small, targeted doses of radiation to calm the overactive inflammatory response that drives osteoarthritis pain. Unlike the high doses used for cancer treatment, this gentle therapy focuses only on reducing inflammation, allowing patients to experience less pain and greater mobility.

Patients at Alliance Cancer Center benefit from this advanced approach that offers meaningful relief without the risks, complications, or downtime that often come with surgery or medication.

Who Can Benefit From LDRT?

LDRT may be especially helpful for individuals who:

• Are over the age of 50 and living with chronic osteoarthritis pain
• Have not found lasting relief from medications, injections, or physical therapy
• Cannot tolerate NSAIDs or other common treatments due to other health concerns
• Are not ready or not eligible for joint replacement surgery
• Want a safe, low-risk alternative to manage pain and improve daily function

Why Choose Low-Dose Radiation Therapy for Osteoarthritis Pain?

For many patients, LDRT provides a much-needed solution when other treatments haven’t worked. Some of the biggest advantages include:

• Non-invasive treatment with no hospital stay or recovery period
• Reduced reliance on pain medications and their side effects
• Improved mobility and quality of life
• Convenient sessions that fit into your schedule
• Hope for long-term relief from chronic joint pain

This treatment allows you to get back to the activities you love with less pain and greater freedom.
