- TreatmentConditions/Services/Treatments PageAcessa®: A Modern Approach to Fibroid Treatment We know that the thought of surgery can be daunting, but Acessa® offers a less invasive alternative to traditional methods like hysterectomy or myomectomy. This innovative, uterine-sparing procedure allows you to treat fibroids effectively while maintaining your quality of life. What to Expect with Acessa®: Targeted Treatment: Our specially trained surgeons use controlled heat to precisely target and shrink fibroids, which are then gradually absorbed by your body, similar to how your body deals with any dead tissue. Minimally Invasive: Acessa® involves just three small incisions, reducing the physical impact on your body and leading to a quicker recovery with less scarring compared to traditional surgical methods. Precision and Care: Utilizing advanced ultrasound technology, Acessa® allows your doctor to locate and treat fibroids more effectively, including those that might be missed by standard imaging techniques. Quick Recovery: Since Acessa® is an outpatient procedure, you’ll be able to go home the same day. Most women return to their regular activities within four to five days, making it a convenient option for those with busy lives. Preservation of Uterine Health: Unlike some other treatments, Acessa® focuses solely on the fibroids, leaving your uterus intact and preserving healthy tissue. This can be especially important for women who are considering future fertility. It’s important to note that Acessa® may not be suitable for women planning future pregnancies. We encourage you to have an open discussion with your doctor about all your options to determine the best course of action for your health and lifestyle.

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.

Normal aging or an earlier injury, like a torn knee ligament, can cause it. Stress from excess body weight also speeds up this loss. Your genes play a role, too, as "weak" cartilage runs in some families. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 32.5 million U.S. adults are living with osteoarthritis.As the cartilage breaks down, the body releases substances that cause pain, stiffness and swelling. In fact, the name arthritis comes from a Greek word that means "disease of the joint." Severe cartilage loss causes pain in another way, too. Without enough of it to keep bones in the joint from gliding against each other smoothly, bone grinds against bone.At Luminis Health, we offer a full range of non-surgical treatments to help you manage arthritis and joint pain. We can also recommend ways to keep the damage from getting worse.ConditionConditions/Services/Treatments PageArthritis and Joint Pain Don’t let joint pain keep you from the life you love.
