Griffin Hospital in Derby offers non-invasive plantar fasciitis treatment
DERBY - The Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital is providing an evidence-based, non-invasive treatment for plantar fasciitis.
Low-dose radiation therapy is a painless procedure that can significantly reduce inflammation, alleviate discomfort, and improve mobility in patients with plantar fasciitis.
LDRT uses small doses of radiation specifically targeted to reduce inflammation in affected area, making it a safe and effective option for patients with musculoskeletal conditions.
Studies have shown that LDRT helps alleviate pain and improve movement with minimal side effects, making it a valuable alternative when other treatment options for plantar fasciitis are ineffective.
The plantar fascia is a band of thick tissue on the bottom of the foot that connects the heel bone to the base of the toes. If the fascia gets irritated, it can cause pain in heel or foot called plantar fasciitis. In some cases, plantar fasciitis can make it hard to walk or move.
“Plantar fasciitis can greatly limit a person’s ability to enjoy activities and affect their quality of life,” said Center for Cancer Care Director Laura Howell, R.T.(T), B.S. “LDRT targets the inflamed tissues in the foot to improve mobility and significantly decrease discomfort so that individuals can enjoy a pain-free lifestyle and get back to the activities they enjoy.”
The outpatient treatment is a non-invasive option for individuals who have not found relief through more traditional approaches like medications, physical therapy, or injections.
For more information about LDRT for plantar fasciitis or to make an appointment for a consultation, call 203-732-1280.
This is a press release from Griffin Hospital.

ANSONIA - The Ansonia Corps wants to congratulate and celebrate Captain Tatyana Fenton on her promotion to the rank of Captain in The Salvation Army!
This promotion represents more than time in service—it reflects a continued commitment to God’s calling, faithful ministry, and a desire to serve others in Christ’s name.
Throughout her officership, Captain Fenton has sought to share the love of Jesus through worship, discipleship, community service, and compassionate ministry.
As the Ansonia Corps also approaches one year of ministry under the leadership of Captain Tatyana Fenton and Lieutenant Joshua Fenton, we take this opportunity to express our gratitude for their faithful service.
Their ministry continues to bear fruit through their willingness to answer God’s call and serve wherever He leads. Their love for God, dedication to the community, and commitment to sharing the Gospel have made a meaningful impact on countless lives.
Please join us in praying for Captain Tatyana and Lieutenant Joshua as they continue their ministry. May God guide, strengthen, and equip them for the work ahead. May He bless their leadership, renew their spirits, and use them mightily for His Kingdom.
