Hyaluronic acid Injections

Steroid Injections

Steroid injections are a proven and highly effective way to manage inflammation and pain in joints and soft tissue. Using precise ultrasound guidance, we deliver corticosteroids directly to the affected area, providing swift and targeted relief. Steroid injections are particularly helpful for arthritis in the knees, shoulders, hips, hands, and feet, as well as for tendon inflammation like tennis elbow, rotator cuff issues, or bursitis.

The key benefits include rapid pain relief, often within a few days, reduced swelling, improved joint stiffness, and restored mobility. While effects vary, most patients enjoy relief for several weeks to a few months, giving you the freedom to resume daily activities with less discomfort.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections

hyaluronic acid injections, also known as Ostenil, Durolane or viscosupplementation therapy, are one of the flagship treatments at The Joint Effort Medical Clinic for joint stiffness and osteoarthritis. As joints affected by osteoarthritis lose their natural lubrication, movement becomes painful and limiting. hyaluronic acid restores this lost lubrication with a natural gel that cushions and protects the joint surface. This approach is especially suitable for patients with knee, hip, or small joint osteoarthritis, as well as those who wish to avoid or delay joint surgery or cannot have steroid injections. 

Hyaluronic acid can ease pain, improve movement, and help reduce stiffness for up to 6 to 12 months. Repeat treatments are safe and can be part of a personalised MSK treatment plan.

Arthrosamid Injections

Arthrosamid is an exciting new generation injectable treatment we provide for knee osteoarthritis at The Joint Effort Medical Clinic. It uses a soft polyacrylamide hydrogel, which integrates into the knee joint lining to provide lasting cushioning and protection. Unlike most injectable therapies, Arthrosamid isn't broken down by the body, serving as a permanent or long-term implant for many patients. It's suitable for mild, moderate, or severe knee osteoarthritis, making it a welcome option for those looking to avoid surgery or delay a knee replacement.

Usually, only a single dose is needed, offering substantial relief for years. Studies show that Arthrosamid can markedly reduce pain, improve joint function, and significantly enhance knee mobility.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses your body's own healing capacity to tackle joint or tendon injuries, rotator cuff problems, mild to moderate osteoarthritis, and sports or overuse injuries. We collect a small sample of your blood, concentrate the healing platelets and growth factors, and inject this natural preparation back into the painful area under ultrasound guidance. This “drug-free” option is ideal for patients wanting a natural route to pain relief, improved function, and tissue repair, without steroids or artificial substances.

Typically, PRP benefits appear gradually over several weeks, with pain reduction and functional gains lasting from six months to a year or more. Some patients benefit even more from a short course of two or three injections.
