WHAT IS LOW DOSE X-RAY THERAPY?
Low Dose X-Ray Therapy, also known as Low Dose Radiotherapy (LDRT), is a gentle, targeted treatment that uses a small dose of X-ray energy to reduce chronic inflammation and pain. It’s a non-invasive option for patients with osteoarthritis and other inflammatory, degenerative and hypertrophic conditions.​
Used for decades in Europe, LDRT therapy is now an emerging option in the United States for select patients.
HOW HEALIOS WORKS
Chronic joint pain and other benign soft tissue conditions often result from inflammation. LDRT uses a precise dose of X-ray radiation to interrupt this inflammatory cycle. The treatment reduces the activity of inflammatory cells in the affected area, relieving pain and slowing disease progression—without damaging healthy tissues.
