A proven treatment to relieve joint pain.
Chronic joint pain is not just wear and tear. It is inflammation. The immune system sends signals to the joint, and over time, those signals do not stop. The result is persistent pain, stiffness, and limited movement.
LDRT works by interrupting that process at the cellular level. It sends a precise, ultra-low dose of energy to the affected joint, calming the inflammatory response and allowing the joint to begin recovering.
There are no needles. No anesthesia. No recovery period. Each session takes about five minutes. You walk in, lie down, and walk right back out.
Proven success with over 18 published studies.
LDRT has been used in Germany and across Europe since the 1980s, slowly making its way to the US. It was developed and refined by leading academic medical centers, validated across decades of peer-reviewed research, and adopted as a standard of care for joint conditions throughout the region.
The clinical record is exceptional: 18 published studies, more than 6,000 patients, and consistent response rates between 70 and 90 percent across multiple joint types.
What is new is not the treatment. What is new is JointGlow, the infrastructure that finally makes it available, standardized, and accessible to patients in the United States.

Simple, fast pain relief on your schedule.
Most treatments for joint pain require weeks of preparation, recovery, or lifestyle adjustment. LDRT requires none of that.
Schedule your intake.
A quick online or in-app assessment confirms you are a candidate and gets you matched to the nearest JointGlow location.
6-10 Sessions over 2 to 3 weeks
Each session is approximately five minutes. You lie down. The treatment is delivered. You get up and go about your day.
No prep. No recovery.
No fasting. No special clothing. No post-session restrictions. Most patients drive themselves to and from every session.
Results within weeks.
Most patients report meaningful improvement within 2 to 6 weeks. Some feel it sooner. Relief typically lasts 18+ months.
What does LDRT treat?
You may be a strong candidate if you have:
- Knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, foot, or ankle pain lasting more than 3 months
- A diagnosis of osteoarthritis, bursitis, tendinopathy, or plantar fasciitis
- Tried injections, physical therapy, or medication without lasting results
- Been told surgery may be the next step
- Medicare coverage (LDRT is typically covered at no out-of-pocket cost)
- A desire to avoid surgery or long recovery periods
LDRT is not recommended for:
- Patients with active infections in the treatment area
- Patients who are pregnant
- Certain patients with prior treatment in the same joint area (a physician review will confirm)

One treatment for all joint pain.
LDRT has been studied and validated across a wide range of joint conditions. These are the indications we treat most frequently at JointGlow.
Knee Osteoarthritis
The #1 joint we treat. Pivoting, walking, stairs — we help you do all of it again.
Learn More →Hip Pain & OA
Lateral movement, sitting, standing. Get back to the activities that hip pain is keeping you from.
Learn More →Shoulder Pain
Rotator cuff inflammation, bursitis, tendinopathy. Overheads, reaching, lifting — restored.
Learn More →Tennis & Golfer's Elbow
Repetitive strain from the court, the course, or the keyboard. 20% of our patients treat this joint.
Learn More →Plantar Fasciitis
85% response rate in 13,000+ patients studied. One of our most proven indications.
Learn More →Bursitis & More
Hip bursitis, knee bursitis, trochanteric pain. Plus tendinopathies, joint stiffness, and beyond.
Learn More →Extensively studied, exceptionally safe.
LDRT has one of the most well-documented safety profiles of any joint treatment available. The dose used in each session is ultra-low, specifically calibrated to address joint inflammation while remaining well below thresholds associated with any meaningful risk.
To put it in perspective: the total energy delivered across all six to ten sessions is less than that of a single standard CT scan. The tissue being treated is a joint, not an organ. And the treatment has been performed safely in thousands of patients over four decades of clinical use.
In the published research, serious adverse events are exceptionally rare. The most commonly reported experience after a session is mild, temporary warmth or achiness at the treatment site, which typically resolves within a day.
What the record shows:
- No systemic side effects reported in clinical studies
- No increased cancer risk at therapeutic doses used for LDRT
- No anesthesia, no needles, no sedation required
- Total dose across all 6-10 sessions is less than one CT scan
- 40+ years of use with a consistent safety record
What patients typically experience:
- No downtime after any session
- Mild temporary warmth or achiness at the site (some patients, resolves quickly)
- Gradual improvement in pain and mobility over 2 to 6 weeks
- Lasting relief for 18+ months after completing treatment
All JointGlow treatments are physician-supervised and protocol-driven.
