SoftRay™ Therapy
Arthritis & Joint Pain Therapy
Introducing SoftRay Therapy™, a proven, 2-minute, gentle treatment to relieve arthritis, joint, and tendon pain, now available at Urology Austin & Apex.
This therapy is the latest in non-invasive, precision-based care for patients suffering from osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, tendinopathies, and other painful degenerative conditions.
SoftRay™ Therapy uses highly targeted, low-intensity beams of energy to calm inflammation at the source, helping reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness — restoring mobility without surgery, needles, or downtime.
What is SoftRay™ Therapy?
SoftRay™ Therapy delivers gentle, very-low-dose radiation directly to inflamed tissue. The result is a powerful anti-inflammatory effect at the cellular level, without systemic side effects or invasive procedures.
Advanced, Precision Technology
SoftRay™ Therapy is delivered using linear accelerators, specifically calibrated for joint and tendon conditions.
Non-Invasive & Safe
Gentle, proven, and well-tolerated, especially for older adults or those seeking alternatives to surgery or chronic medications.
