WHAT IS KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS?
Knee osteoarthritis is a chronic condition that gradually worsens over time, affecting the bones and joints of the knee. It primarily targets the knee joint, wearing away the protective cartilage, which leads to bone friction, stiffness, swelling, and pain.
While the exact cause of knee osteoarthritis remains unknown and no permanent cure is currently available, treatment options focus on managing symptoms. These treatments include:
- Exercise
- Weight loss
- Pain relief medication
- Viscosupplement injections
- Braces
- Physical therapy
However, when these approaches fail, many patients turn to total knee replacement surgery as a last resort. Despite this, a promising new development is emerging on the horizon.
How Does Arthrosamid Work to Treat Knee Pain?
The knee joint contains a thin membrane called the synovium, which houses small synovial cells responsible for producing lubricant fluid. This fluid allows the joints to move smoothly and acts as a shock absorber. In cases of arthritis, the synovium can become inflamed and irritated, resulting in synovitis. Arthrosamid Hydrogel injection helps reduce this inflammation by being absorbed by the synovial cells, which then become more dispersed, decreasing the transmission of inflammatory signals. The hydrogel also acts as a cushion within the knee joint. It generally takes about 6-8 weeks after the injection for Arthrosamid to integrate with the synovial cells and begin reducing knee joint pain, swelling, and improving function.
WHAT EXACTLY IS ARTHROSAMID®?
Arthrosamid® offers a breakthrough long-term solution for treating knee osteoarthritis, presenting patients with a durable alternative to traditional therapies like steroids. Using advanced non-biodegradable hydrogel technology, Arthrosamid® is composed of 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide and 97.5% water. Once injected into the knee, it provides effective cushioning for the joint, alleviating pain and delivering safe, long-lasting relief with just a single injection.

It usually takes about 6-8 weeks after the injection for Arthrosamid to fully integrate with the synovial cells and start reducing knee joint pain, swelling, and improving function.

April 23, 2024 - Jaqui S. | Severe Knee osteoarthritis
After my consultation with Jon l felt confident enough to go ahead with my treatment on my knee for arthritis. Having a fairly new injection of arthrosamid l was fairly ambivalent about the outcome but 9 months on it was well worth the money and the outcome. I have had no pain at all in my knee and would totally recommend this treatment at this clinic.
December, 2023 - Mike K. | Moderate knee osteoarthritis
Jon has been trying to ease my arthritic pain in my left knee for well over a year with steroid injection…. H A injections and Ozone injections with only a small amount of success. I’ve been aware of Arthrosamid for over a year but couldn’t find any unbiased reviews and was sceptical… but suffering with the constant pain and limited mobility especially as I’m a carpenter I took the plunge 12 weeks ago and I’m so glad I did. I can now walk pain free… stairs and scafffold ladders no problem…. My range of motion and stiffness are massively improved… My mental health has improved as a result so a massive thank you to Jon
