March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of prevention and early detection. Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when found early through screening.

Ways to reduce your risk:

• Get screened regularly. Screening is recommended starting at age 45, or earlier if you have risk factors or a family history.
• Know your family history. Talk with your healthcare provider about your risk.
• Eat a balanced diet. Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and limit processed meats.
• Stay active. Regular physical activity can help lower your risk.
• Avoid to***co and limit alcohol. Both are linked to increased cancer risk.
• Pay attention to symptoms. Changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, or unexplained weight loss should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

Early detection saves lives. Talk to your healthcare provider about the screening plan that’s right for you.

Could radiation therapy help your arthritis pain?

When medications, injections, or physical therapy haven’t provided enough relief, Low-Dose Radiation Therapy (LDRT) may be an option. This safe, non-invasive treatment uses very small doses of radiation to reduce inflammation in painful joints, helping reduce swelling and discomfort without affecting the rest of the body.

How it works:
During arthritis flare-ups, immune cells release chemicals that cause inflammation. LDRT gently reduces those overactive cells, allowing the joint to settle down and pain to improve.

Conditions that may benefit:
• Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid arthritis
• Bursitis or tendonitis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Post-surgical joint pain
• Other inflammatory joint or soft tissue conditions

Why patients choose it:
✔ Short, simple treatments
✔ Minimal side effects
✔ No downtime — return to normal activities
✔ Many feel relief after just a few sessions

Talk with your care team to see if radiation therapy could be right for you.
