What you can expect
GenesisCare treat benign conditions with radiation therapy to reduce the pain associated with degenerative or inflammatory conditions. Radiation treatments can be delivered in as few as six non-invasive sessions. Each session takes around 15 minutes and has minimal risks. All treatments are delivered safely and effectively with modern equipment and using the latest proven techniques. There may be some mild redness of the skin immediately following treatment, but this usually disappears over 2-3 weeks. Anecdotally, around 80% of our patients report some resolution of pain, and about one third state that the pain is completely controlled after treatment.
What other people ask
Does radiation therapy hurt?
Not at all. Radiation therapy is painless. In fact, you don’t see or feel the actual treatment. Most people continue with their usual daily routine during the treatment course.
Who decides if I need radiation therapy?
Your specialist will recommend the treatment that’s best suited to treat your condition.
Are there any side effects from radiation therapy?
Side effects do exist, and they vary from person to person.
The most common side effects are tiredness and skin changes. Other side effects depend on the part of your body being treated.
Your radiation oncologist and nurse will explain the side effects specific to your treatment area. They will also give you advice on how to manage these and look after yourself during treatment.
