​

Understanding Osteoarthritis:

​

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the gradual breakdown of cartilage, the protective tissue covering the ends of bones. This wear and tear on the joints can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, impacting the quality of life for those affected.

​

Challenges in Traditional Treatments:

​

Traditional treatments often focus on symptom management through pain medications, steroid injections, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery. While these approaches offer relief for some, they may not address the underlying cause of the degeneration. Long-term use of oral medications carry its own risk of side effects to healthy organs, and surgery is always a last option choice for most patients.

​

The Role of Low Dose X-ray Therapy:

​

Enter Low Dose X-ray Therapy, a non-invasive joint pain treatment. This advanced treatment involves the precise application of low-energy x-rays to the affected joint, stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms. By promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation, Low Dose X-ray Therapy offers a promising alternative for those seeking lasting relief from osteoarthritis pain.
