Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis in the UK. Symptoms vary greatly from one person to the next but often include:
It’s important to see your GP if you think you might have osteoarthritis and haven’t been diagnosed yet. The condition can cause inflammation of the tissues in and around the joints. It can also damage cartilage (which enables joints to move easily without friction) and result in bony growths around joint edges.
Our Ostenil Plus treatment can help relieve pain and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis. Ostenil Plus is a solution containing hyaluronic acid. It can be injected into affected joints which are classified as ‘synovial’.
A synovial joint is where the ends of the joint’s bones are encased in a capsule containing synovial fluid. Hyaluronic acid is present in synovial fluid – but its balance is disturbed by osteoarthritis causing it to stop working properly.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition where cartilage breaks down, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. It most commonly affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine.
We offer non-surgical, minimally invasive treatments designed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and support joint health. These may include joint injections and advanced therapies tailored to your specific needs.
The duration of relief depends on the treatment and individual factors, but many patients experience noticeable improvements in pain and function following a recommended course of therapy.
Treatments are generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. Your practitioner will ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
