A: No — you can contact Heelex directly; if you have a specialist we coordinate with them. Q: Does the treatment hurt? A: No. There is no needle, injection, or anesthesia; you feel nothing during treatment. Q: Will low-dose radiation therapy cause cancer? A: The dose for benign conditions is roughly 10 to 25 times lower than cancer radiation; decades of use in Germany have not shown an increased cancer risk at these low doses. Q: Can it help me avoid joint replacement surgery? A: For many patients it is a non-surgical option to try first, and it never affects eligibility for surgery later; roughly 70-80% report meaningful relief in published studies. Q: Is it covered by insurance? A: Medicare and most major plans are accepted for appropriate indications; benefits are verified before treatment. Q: How many sessions are needed? A: Most benign musculoskeletal conditions take 6 to 8 short weekday sessions over about two weeks. ## Contact Heelex Surprise 12329 W Bola Dr, Suite 100, Surprise, AZ 85378 Phone: (623) 270-7441 Website: https://heelexsurprise.com
