Hip Pain And Osteoarthritis

Move Beyond Hip Pain With LDRT

Low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) is a clinically proven, non-invasive treatment for hip pain and osteoarthritis. Six to ten sessions. No surgery. No downtime.

THE PROBLEM

Is Hip Pain Reshaping Your Life?

  • Getting out of a car becomes a delicate, multi-step process.
  • Walking longer distances is something you plan around.
  • Sitting too long hurts. Standing too long hurts.
  • The activities you used to enjoy now come with pain risks.

Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most limiting joint conditions a person can live with because the hip is involved in nearly every movement you make. Injections offer temporary relief. Surgery carries real risk and a long recovery. There is a better path.

With low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT), JointGlow treats the inflammation at the source, not just pain symptoms.

HOW IT WORKS

LDRT calms inflammation behind knee pain.

Knee osteoarthritis is an inflammatory condition. The cartilage breaks down, the immune system responds, and the result is a cycle of chronic pain and stiffness that gets worse over time. Standard treatments manage the symptoms. LDRT addresses the cycle itself.

LDRT delivers a precise, ultra-low dose of targeted energy to the knee joint, calming the inflammatory response at the cellular level. The cartilage damage that has already occurred does not reverse, but the inflammation driving your pain can be significantly reduced. In clinical studies, 70 to 90 percent of patients with knee OA experienced meaningful, lasting improvement.

The hip is the center of movement. When LDRT reduces that inflammation, patients often describe it as getting their life back.

WHO IT HELPS

Symptoms LDRT Treats and Who Can Benefit

LDRT is effective for a wide range of hip conditions, from early-stage discomfort to long-standing, significant pain. Many of our patients come to us after cortisone injections stopped working or after they were told hip replacement was the next logical step.

Symptoms and limitations LDRT addresses:

  • Pain in the groin, outer hip, thigh, or buttocks
  • Stiffness when getting up from a chair or out of bed
  • Difficulty walking for extended distances or on uneven ground
  • Pain that worsens with activity and eases with rest
  • A grinding or popping sensation in the hip joint
  • Limited range of motion when rotating the leg or bending at the hip

You may be a strong candidate if you:

  • Have a diagnosis of hip osteoarthritis or hip bursitis
  • Have had hip pain for 3 or more months
  • Have tried injections, PT, or medication without lasting relief
  • Have Medicare coverage
  • Want to avoid or delay hip replacement surgery
  • Want a non-surgical, drug-free option
