For many people living with osteoarthritis, daily joint pain can limit mobility, independence, and quality of life. But a new treatment option is offering hope—without the need for surgery.
Recently featured on FOX 5 San Diego, Dr. Evan White of South Bay Radiation Oncology discussed an innovative approach: low-dose radiation therapy for osteoarthritis.
What Is This Treatment?
Low-dose radiation therapy uses carefully targeted, minimal radiation to reduce inflammation in affected joints. Unlike traditional radiation treatments used for cancer, this therapy is designed specifically to:
- Decrease inflammation
- Reduce pain
- Improve joint function
This approach has been used successfully in Europe for decades and is now gaining traction in the United States as a safe, non-invasive option for managing chronic joint pain.
Who May Benefit?
Patients experiencing osteoarthritis-related pain in areas such as:
- Knees
- Shoulders
- Hips
- Hands
…may be candidates—especially if they:
- Want to avoid or delay surgery
- Haven’t found relief from medications or injections
- Are seeking a non-invasive alternative
