Imagine walking into a hospital with knee pain and walking out 30 seconds later with great relief — with no incision, no anaesthesia, and no downtime.

That’s the promise Bengaluru’s Dr Lohith Reddy, Consultant Radiation Oncologist at HCG Hospitals, is offering.

This treatment could be a game-changer for millions of Indians suffering from osteoarthritis.

Dr Reddy said, “This is not radiation for cancer — it’s radiation for healing.” He calls it Restorative Benign Radiotherapy.

Unlike painkillers that merely mask symptoms, this therapy claims to tackle the root cause of osteoarthritis–chronic inflammation, immune misfiring, and tissue scarring.

As India’s population ages and joint pain becomes a daily reality for many, this kind of low-risk scientifically validated, and quick treatment, doctors claim could fill the gap between painkillers and surgery.
