HOW DOES IT WORK?

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 is a non-invasive option for patients with plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, 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.

Practice Spotlight

“I’ve seen Low-Dose Radiotherapy make a real difference for patients who have dealt with stubborn foot pain for months or even years. With LDRT, the team is able to reduce the underlying inflammation in a gentle, targeted way, and many patients start noticing meaningful improvement within weeks. Offering a treatment that helps people walk comfortably again is incredibly rewarding and it’s a key part of maintaining a strong, patient-centered practice.”
