Low-Dose Radiation Therapy for Musculoskeletal Conditions
Radiation therapy isn’t only for cancer. It can treat a number of non-cancerous conditions, too. At Luminis Health, our low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) program for benign conditions offers a non-invasive treatment option that’s safe and effective.
"Low-dose radiation therapy is a noninvasive option that targets the affected tissues in these benign conditions. It helps reduce cell growth, inflammation, and pain while promoting healing and preventing recurrence."
-- Dr. Amar Rewari, Chief of Radiation Oncology and Medical Director of the LDRT Program at Luminis Health.
What is Low-Dose Radiation Therapy (LDRT)?
Lose-dose radiation therapy, or low-dose radiotherapy, helps reduce pain and stiffness caused by inflammatory and degenerative conditions of the tendons, joints and other soft tissues. It uses targeted X-rays to turn on the body’s anti-inflammatory response, which helps relieve symptoms and restore movement.
Benefits of LDRT
LDRT can be a good option for people with mild, early-stage inflammatory and degenerative conditions who haven’t been helped by conservative treatments and want to avoid surgery. Treatment with low-dose radiotherapy is painless and performed quickly. Each session lasts about 10 minutes, and sessions are typically performed two to three times a week. Choosing to have low-dose radiation therapy also doesn’t eliminate surgery or other treatment options for you down the road.

Breast Cancer
One in eight women receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. The older you are, the greater your chances of developing breast cancer.What Is Breast Cancer?Breast cancer starts when abnormal cells in the breast grow out of control. They form tumors that can invade surrounding tissues and even spread to other parts of the body. But treatment — especially if we catch the disease early — is very successful. The five-year survival rate for breast cancer is more than 95%.
