Exploring Low-Dose Radiation for Midlife Osteoarthritis & Tendinitis | Empowering Midlife Wellness

Описание: In this video, I share my personal experience with low-dose radiation therapy for osteoarthritis and inflammatory knee pain — a treatment with a long history in Europe that’s now being re-examined in the U.S. as a safe, evidence-based option for chronic orthopedic pain.

Low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) involves the use of very small, precisely targeted doses of radiation — typically one-tenth or less of what’s used in cancer treatment — to reduce inflammation and modulate immune response in joints, tendons, and soft tissues. Research has shown that these low doses can help relieve pain and improve mobility, often providing durable results without the side effects of steroids or long-term medications.

I’m joined by Dr. Sanjay Mehta, Radiation Oncologist at St. Joseph Cancer Center in Houston, to discuss the science behind this therapy, its mechanisms of action, and the clinical outcomes we’re seeing today for conditions such as:
• Osteoarthritis
• inflammatory knee pain
• Plantar fasciitis
• Tennis elbow
• Shoulder and joint pain

You’ll also see a glimpse of my own treatment session, as we explore how this “old yet new” approach is helping patients regain comfort, function, and quality of life — without medications or surgery.
