Ostenil Plus (Hyaluronic Acid) Injections:
Many patients suffering from Osteoarthritis and tendinopathy can benefit from Hyaluronic acid injections (Gel/Lubricant injections).OSTENIL PLUS Injection is a solution containing hyaluronic acid developed specifically for the treatment of osteoarthritis. It can be injected into the knee, or any of the other synovial joints in the body to decrease pain and stiffness and improve the other symptoms of osteoarthritis. It contains a higher concentration of sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) than standard OSTENIL plus mannitol and offers the option to reduce the number of injections to one per treatment cycle. Ostenil Injection in Knee can improve function and decrease pain.
This medication is injected into the space between the joint that contains synovial fluid and works to restore the balance between the breakdown and production of hyaluronic acid. This effect means OSTENIL PLUS injections can help decrease pain and stiffness of the joint. The hyaluronic acid in OSTENIL PLUS is very pure and is manufactured using fermentation. Containing no animal proteins, it is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction, plus the addition of mannitol (a sugar derivative) helps the hyaluronic acid to work for longer and more efficiently in the joint.
The benefits of the injections can last up to 6-9 months. Hyaluronic acid injections are generally quite safe.
Cost:
Single Injection: £350
Two Injections : £675
Corticosteroid Injections:
Osteoarthritis can make ordinary movements and everyday life challenging. Injections of corticosteroids are one of the most common joint injections. Corticosteroids are injected directly into the joints, bursa or tendon sheath or around nerves by our clinicians to reduce pain and inflammation quickly.
There is a significant amount of research which demonstrates that steroid injections give better levels of pain relief, give longer lasting effects than medication, and improve the function by reducing the inflammation. Corticosteroid injections, in general, are well tolerated by the body and do not cause the typical side-effects seen by taking oral steroids, or anabolic steroids.
The goal of injectable steroids is to deliver a much smaller dose of medication to the location of pain more precisely, resulting in a better outcome. The injected corticosteroid travels quickly to the site of inflammation and provides immediate relief to the inflamed area. It is more powerful than traditional oral anti-inflammatory medications and safer than oral steroids because it does not have many of the side effects that oral corticosteroid medications do.

Single Injection: £250
Two Injections : £475
Arthrosamid®
Arthrosamid® is a new type of treatment for knee osteoarthritis that offers you an effective alternative to the currently available therapies like steroid injections or knee replacement surgery. Based on an innovative non-biodegradable hydrogel technology, Arthrosamid® is 97.5% water, with 2.5% being a cross-linked polyacrylamide backbone. When injected into the knee Arthrosamid® cushions the joint and reduces pain, providing safe and sustained pain relief, all with one injection.
Am I suitable for Arthrosmaid injection?
Patients with mild, moderate, and more severe arthritis in their knees respond well to treatment.
Arthrosamid Injections Cost £2500.00
CINGAL Injections
Cingal is a cutting-edge treatment that combines hyaluronic acid with a corticosteroid to address joint pain and inflammation directly. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body that lubricates and cushions the joints, while corticosteroids provide fast-acting relief from swelling and discomfort. This dual-action formula is designed to offer both immediate and sustained relief from joint pain.
How the Injection Works?
The procedure involves a single injection into the affected joint, where Cingal works to restore the natural balance of hyaluronic acid, improving joint lubrication and reducing friction. The corticosteroid component quickly reduces inflammation, offering rapid pain relief.
Cost of CINGAL Injection £450
Diagnostic Ultrasound Scan:
An Ultrasound scan provides accurate diagnosis of soft tissue injuries around the joints, torn muscles or tendons and inflamed bursa, therefore is an important addition to assessment and treatment. Ultrasound musculoskeletal imaging has an increasingly important place in the diagnosis, investigation, and management of a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders.
An Ultrasound scan is commonly used to assess shoulder injuries, bursitis in shoulder or hip, Achilles tendinopathy and Plantar Fasciitis as well as provide guidance for accurately inject joints or tendons. An Ultrasound scan is safe, cost-effective and can be used within your initial consultation.
Cost:
Single Area: £130
