Low-dose Radiation Therapy for Osteoarthritis & other benign conditions

While best known for cancer treatment, radiation therapy can also support people living with non-cancer conditions, such as osteoarthritis and other degenerative or inflammatory conditions.

Icon Cancer Centre offers Low-Dose Radiation Therapy (LDRT) for osteoarthritis and other benign conditions, such as Plantar Fasciitis, Keloids, and Macular Degeneration. This gentle, evidence-based treatment may help reduce pain, improve joint function, and enhance quality of life when standard therapies are no longer enough.

LDRT is a non-invasive treatment that uses tiny, carefully controlled doses of radiation to help reduce pain, improve joint function, and may help slow down joint damage over time. Unlike the higher doses used in cancer therapy, LDRT delivers a much smaller, precisely targeted dose. Supported by international clinical evidence, LDRT is emerging as a safe and effective option for managing osteoarthritis and other degenerative or inflammatory conditions.
