Low Dose Radiation has been used for decades for patients with arthritis & fasciitis. Low doses mean nearly-no or no immediate side effects. it’s very well tolerated! Indications of Low Dose Radiation here are totally different than for cancer treatment.
Radiosurgery New York is well known for radiation’s medical use. Many think of radiation as cancer treatment, yet Dr Lederman has been treating non-cancer diseases for over 40 years. Benign means not cancer. There are many benign diseases that we treat. Some benign diseases are tumors. Benign tumors are frequent and include both benign brain and body tumors.
Benign brain tumors include meningiomas, pituitary tumors, acoustic neuromas, and more.
Other benign diseases we treat include arthritis, synovitis, bursitis, tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. When we treat benign brain tumors, as we’ve done for decades, there is a high success rate using our special radiation techniques. Benign tumors in the body are also treated with radiation.
Radiation’s beauty here is we focus beams to attack the desired treatment area. As the first physician performing Stereotactic Body Radiosurgery in the Western Hemisphere, we use our precision techniques for benign tumors most anywhere in the body.
30 million Americans have arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, synovitis….and millions more have plantar fasciitis. Decades of data show high success rates with nearly no or no immediate side effects using Low Dose Radiation — Dr Lederman’s special work!
It’s best to meet in person in our active medical practice in the heart of New York City. There are millions who may benefit from Low Dose Radiation treatment at RSNY.
Many suffer terrible arthritis pain and have tried many medications, injections, physical therapy, weight management, and more unsuccessfully, but are reluctant to undergo joint replacement — removal of their God-given elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, or more for an artificial device that may or may not function as one would wish. It might take months to recover from surgery.
In comparison, Low Dose Radiation often offers relief of arthritic pain and suffering for most in just a few short, outpatient treatments, usually with no side effects, performed in minutes. The dose is so low that it can be repeated if necessary — if it doesn’t provide relief one seeks during first treatment.
Many with arthritis seek attention from physicians who are rheumatologists or orthopedic surgeons — doctors who specialize in arthritis treatment. We encourage patients to seek all serious experts in the field who may be able to help.
Discussing Low Dose Radiation for arthritis & plantar fasciitis allows patients a more complete understanding of all treatment options. The most common arthritic joints treated by Dr Lederman with Low Dose Radiation include: knees, hips, hands, feet, shoulders, and elbows.
Low Dose Radiation for arthritis, synovitis, bursitis, tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis has been practiced for decades. Thousands of patients have been treated. The vast majority are successfully treated with improvement of symptoms, avoiding the pain, anesthesia, hospitalization, and slow recovery that’s often associated with joint replacement.
Low Dose Radiation doesn’t have the systemic side effects of medical management that frequently goes throughout the body… or with other invasive procedures such as injections of gels, cortisone, steroids, or other materials.
