BENIGN DISEASE TREATMENT
We specialize in low-dose x-ray therapy for conditions like osteoarthritis and plantar fasciitis, offering non-invasive treatment options to alleviate pain and improve mobility. Each treatment is meticulously overseen by a team of specialists, including a radiation oncologist, medical physicist, and certified radiation therapists, ensuring the highest standards of safety and efficacy.
The Role of Low Dose X-ray Therapy:
​
Enter Low Dose X-ray Therapy, a non-invasive joint pain treatment. This advanced treatment involves the precise application of low-energy x-rays to the affected joint, stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms. By promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation, Low Dose X-ray Therapy offers a promising alternative for those seeking lasting relief from osteoarthritis pain.
Team Of Specialist
1
Radiation Oncologist
A radiation oncologist specializes in using radiation therapy to treat cancer. They develop and oversee treatment plans, ensuring precise targeting of cancer cells while protecting healthy tissue. Working with a multidisciplinary team, they monitor patients throughout treatment, manage side effects, and adjust care as needed for optimal outcomes.
2
Medical Physicist
A medical physicist specializes in applying physics to healthcare, particularly in medical imaging and radiation therapy. They ensure the safe and accurate use of radiation, maintain equipment, and develop treatment plans in collaboration with oncologists. Their work focuses on optimizing patient care while ensuring safety and precision in treatments.
3
Radiation Therapists
A radiation therapist delivers radiation treatments to patients as prescribed by a radiation oncologist. They operate specialized equipment, ensure precise targeting of treatment areas, and monitor patients for side effects. Radiation therapists play a key role in patient care, combining technical expertise with compassionate support.
Osteoarthritis
​
Osteoarthritis, a prevalent joint condition affecting millions worldwide, can be a formidable barrier to an active and pain-free life. Low Dose X-ray Therapy, a cutting-edge approach demonstrating remarkable efficacy in managing osteoarthritis pain and improving overall joint function, can offer osteoarthritis pain relief.
​
Heelex can treat osteoarthritis of any joint that is causing you pain and stiffness including: hands and fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck and lower back, hips, knees, ankles, and feet.
​
​
Understanding Osteoarthritis:
​
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the gradual breakdown of cartilage, the protective tissue covering the ends of bones. This wear and tear on the joints can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, impacting the quality of life for those affected.
​
Challenges in Traditional Treatments:
​
Traditional treatments often focus on symptom management through pain medications, steroid injections, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery. While these approaches offer relief for some, they may not address the underlying cause of the degeneration. Long-term use of oral medications carry its own risk of side effects to healthy organs, and surgery is always a last option choice for most patients.
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
​
Plantar fasciitis involves the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes. This condition often leads to stabbing pain near the heel, especially during the first steps in the morning or after prolonged periods of rest.
​
Challenges in Traditional Treatments:
​
While conventional treatments like rest, physical therapy, and orthopedic inserts offer relief for some, others find limited success. Persistent pain may prompt individuals to seek alternatives that address the root cause of the inflammation. Surgery for plantar fasciitis is often partnered with a long and painful recovery time. With Heelex, we offer a non-invasive, personalized plantar fasciitis treatment.
The Role of Low Dose X-ray Therapy:
​
Low Dose X-ray Therapy is a non-invasive and precise approach to treating plantar fasciitis. It involves the application of low-energy x-rays directly to the affected area, stimulating the body's natural healing processes. The therapy focuses on reducing inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration, offering a potential breakthrough for those seeking more effective and lasting relief.
​
Key Benefits of Low Dose X-ray Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis:
​
-
Targeted Treatment: Pinpoint application of low-energy x-rays directly to the inflamed area, addressing the source of pain.
-
Non-Invasive Solution: A minimally invasive alternative to surgical interventions, reducing recovery time and potential complications.
-
Pain Reduction: Significantly reduces pain by alleviating inflammation and promoting healing at the cellular level.
-
Enhanced Mobility: Improves joint function and overall mobility, allowing individuals to resume regular activities without discomfort.
-
Individualized Care: Tailored treatment plans developed by skilled radiation therapists, ensuring personalized attention for each patient.
