Low-Dose Radiotherapy

Pain and Restore Movement

Should You Try Low-Dose Radiotherapy at
Orlando Orthopaedic Center?

Low-Dose Radiotherapy helps significantly with chronic pain, whether from arthritis, tendinopathy, bursitis, or even an old injury. There are no injections or medications.

What is Low-Dose Radiotherapy (LDRT)?

LDRT is a non-invasive, advanced treatment that utilizes very small, precisely targeted doses of X-rays to effectively reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and restore function in affected joints, tendons, and soft tissues.

How LDRT Works:

  • Reduces inflammation without harming healthy tissue
  • Activates your body’s natural healing response
  • Slows or halts disease progression
  • A painless, fast, and highly effective treatment

Your Path to Pain Relief: The LDRT Process

Embarking on LDRT is a straightforward and comfortable process designed for your convenience.

Precise Treatment Planning

Step 2: Precise Treatment Planning

Gentle & Quick Treatment Sessions

Step 3: Gentle & Quick Treatment Sessions

  • Typically, 6-10 sessions are administered over 2-3 weeks.
  • Each session takes approximately 10 minutes from start to finish.
  • The actual treatment time is remarkably short – under 1 minute.
  • The procedure is painless, with absolutely no recovery time needed.
  • You can immediately resume all your normal activities without interruption.

Most patients will have a follow-up appointment 8-10 weeks after completing treatment. In some cases, if symptoms return, a second round of LDRT may be beneficial.

  • You have experienced persistent pain for 3 months or longer.
  • You have already tried conventional treatments such as rest, physical therapy, medications, or injections without lasting relief.
  • Your pain significantly interferes with your daily activities and quality of life.
