I’m a radiation oncologist using low-dose radiation to help relieve arthritis pain—AMA

I’m a radiation oncologist specializing in using radiation therapy to treat cancer and using low-dose radiation to relieve chronic pain from conditions like arthritis.

I'm Dr. Liz Zhang-Velten at Keck Medicine of USC and I work with a range of external beam radiation techniques, from very high-dose, focused radiation (SBRT) for treating cancers to low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) for treating conditions like osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, and Dupuytren's contracture.

Let's talk about it, ask me anything!
