Frequently Asked Questions: Peyronie's & LDRT
Do I need a referral? +
No. You can call us directly. If you have an orthopedic surgeon, primary care physician, or rheumatologist, we coordinate with them.
Does it hurt? +
No. You feel nothing during treatment. No needle, no injection, no anesthesia.
Are there side effects? +
Rare. Some patients notice mild, temporary skin redness. No systemic side effects.
Will it cause cancer? +
The dose used for benign conditions is 10 to 25 times lower than the dose used to treat cancer. Long-term studies in Germany — where LDRT has been used for decades — have not shown an increased cancer risk at these low doses. We do not treat patients under 40 except in specific circumstances.
How quickly will I feel better? +
Most patients begin noticing relief between 6 and 12 weeks after their final session. About 70% report meaningful improvement.
How long does relief last? +
Typically 12 to 24 months. A second course can be given if symptoms return.
What if it doesn't work for me? +
Most patients respond well — and if your consultation shows you're not a strong candidate, we'll tell you up front, before you've spent a dime. LDRT also never closes any doors: every other option, including surgery, stays open to you.
Is it covered by insurance? +
Most major insurance is accepted, including Medicare and major commercial plans. Our office handles all insurance pre-authorization.
How many sessions will I need? +
Most benign musculoskeletal conditions require 6 to 8 weekday sessions, scheduled on consecutive business days so you complete a full course in under two weeks. Each session takes about 15 minutes. Some skin and fibrotic conditions follow different protocols — your consultation will clarify what fits your situation.
