Low-Dose Radiotherapy
How It Works

Why Patients Choose Our Care
I received radiotherapy treatment for Dupuytren's contracture on my right hand. I’m happy to say that the progression of Dupuytren's has ceased in my right hand and no more nodules or contractures have appeared. Dr Shaffer and his team were very helpful and professional throughout and I would recommend their services gladly.
Guy Strickland
Dupuytren's Disease Patient
Before I saw the doctor my left foot was too painful to stand on, never mind walk… came home determined to seek medical intervention. Within a month, I had received 6 radiotherapy sessions and my foot was pain-free. I couldn’t believe it - and still can’t, but am now happily walking 7000 - 10000 steps per day. Wonderful! The whole process was easy and stress free and all staff involved were just lovely. I can’t recommend the low-dose radiotherapy treatment highly enough.

Osteoarthritis Patient
After struggling with Achilles tendon pain for several years, I was delighted to discover the radiotherapy option. No GP referral require,d and the pain-free treatment was a pleasant change from shock-wave sessions. Five months on, I’ve seen significant improvements in my mobility and pain.

Achilles Tendinopathy Patient
My consultation with the doctor was incredible. I have a severe case of Ledderhose disease and Dupuytren’s. He showed so much concern and interest in my case. For the first time in 51 years, I am beginning to feel confident that someone may be able to assist me with this disease. It was an inspiration and a pleasure to meet with Dr Shaffer. Thank you so much!
