Low-dose radiotherapy in cases of chronic pain
Even chronic pain can often be treated well with radiotherapy
Radiotherapy is very effective in the treatment of chronic pain of the musculoskeletal system Not many people know this: Even chronic pain can often be treated well with radiotherapy. That especially involves pain triggered by the supporting and musculoskeletal system i.e. orthopaedic conditions.
The pain relieving and anti-inflammatory effect of low-dose, i.e. gentle x-rays has had a proven effect in the past and has been proven in many large scientific investigations. The few therapy appointments necessary last only a few seconds and are completely painless.
Often there will be an improvement of the complaint already during the course of the therapy. However pain may also intensify for a while during therapy. This seemingly paradox effect is however a good sign as it often indicates that the treated area will mid- and long-term respond very well to radiotherapy.
