Advanced Joint Injection Treatments
Discover our range of ultrasound-guided injection therapies designed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and help you return to an active life without surgery.
Understanding Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint condition affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions your joints wears down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. While there's no cure for OA, modern injection therapies can significantly reduce pain and improve your quality of life.
Common Symptoms
Areas Affected: Commonly affects knees, hips, hands, and spine, but can occur in any joint.
Steroid Joint Injection
Corticosteroid injections deliver powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected joint. This treatment provides rapid relief from pain and swelling, making it an excellent choice for acute flare-ups or when you need quick results.
Duration
10-15 minutes
Results
Within 24-72 hours
Sessions
As needed (max 3-4 per year)
How It Works
Corticosteroids work by suppressing the inflammatory response in your joint. When injected directly into the joint space under ultrasound guidance, the medication reduces swelling, decreases pain, and allows the joint to move more freely. Effects typically last 4-12 weeks.
Key Benefits
- Rapid pain relief within days
- Reduces inflammation and swelling
- Allows you to start rehabilitation
- Well-established, proven treatment
- Cost-effective option
Ideal For
- Acute joint flare-ups
- Severe inflammation
- Patients needing quick relief
- Mild to moderate arthritis
- Gout or inflammatory conditions
Ostenil Plus
Ostenil Plus is a premium hyaluronic acid supplement that restores your joint's natural lubrication. Combined with mannitol for enhanced effectiveness, it provides longer-lasting relief than standard hyaluronic acid injections.
Duration
15-20 minutes
Results
2-4 weeks
Sessions
Single injection, repeat after 6-12 months
How It Works
Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in healthy joint fluid. In arthritic joints, this natural lubricant breaks down. Ostenil Plus replenishes this vital substance, reducing friction between bones, cushioning impact, and allowing smoother movement. The added mannitol protects the hyaluronic acid from degradation.
Key Benefits
- Long-lasting relief (6-12 months)
- Restores natural joint lubrication
- No steroids - safe for frequent use
- Enhanced formula with mannitol
- Minimal downtime after treatment
Ideal For
- Mild to moderate osteoarthritis
- Patients who cannot use steroids
- Athletes and active individuals
- Those seeking natural treatment options
- Long-term joint maintenance
Durolane
Durolane offers a unique single-injection solution using stabilised hyaluronic acid (NASHA technology). One treatment provides sustained relief, making it perfect for busy individuals who prefer minimal appointments.
Duration
15-20 minutes
Results
2-4 weeks
Sessions
Single injection only
How It Works
Durolane uses Non-Animal Stabilised Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA) technology, which creates a more durable form of hyaluronic acid that resists breakdown. When injected, it integrates with your joint's natural fluid to provide cushioning and lubrication that can last up to 12 months.
Key Benefits
- One injection provides long-lasting relief
- NASHA technology for stability
- Clinically proven effectiveness
- Convenient single-visit treatment
- Suitable for multiple joints
Ideal For
- Busy professionals
- Moderate osteoarthritis
- Patients preferring fewer visits
- Multiple joint treatment

Arthrosamid
Arthrosamid represents a breakthrough in joint treatment. This innovative polyacrylamide hydrogel integrates with your joint's synovial lining, providing a permanent cushioning layer that doesn't degrade over time.
Duration
20-30 minutes
Results
4-12 weeks
Sessions
Single injection (potentially permanent)
How It Works
Arthrosamid is a hydrogel consisting of 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide and 80% water. When injected, it becomes integrated into the synovial tissue (joint lining), creating a cushioning layer that remains permanently. Unlike other treatments, it doesn't break down, potentially offering years of relief from a single injection.
Key Benefits
- Long-term relief (2+ years in studies)
- Non-degradable - stays in the joint
- Reduces need for repeated injections
- May delay or prevent surgery
- Safe biocompatible material
Ideal For
- Moderate to severe osteoarthritis
- Patients tired of repeated injections
- Those wanting to avoid surgery
- Failed other injection therapies
- Looking for long-term solution
