London Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment For Pain & Stiffness Relief Announced

MSK Doctors in London (03300010048) is one of the first clinics in the UK approved to provide Arthrosamid, a new and long-lasting option for osteoarthritis treatment that's been shown to provide relief from pain and stiffness for 2 years or longer, with a single injection.

Arthrosamid is a new, minimally invasive, single-injection treatment launched for osteoarthritis that has been gaining attention for providing long-term relief from pain and stiffness. MSK Doctors in London was selected as one of a few clinics approved to provide this treatment early and allows patients to schedule their own appointments with no GP referral or waiting list.

While Arthrosamid is similar in many ways to a traditional knee injection for osteoarthritis, it differs in one important aspect, by using a non-biodegradable material. With this non-biodegradable hydrogel, injected to build a cushion around the knee, some patients have found that their pain and stiffness fade for up to several years.

Although the full duration is not known yet, some researchers have suggested that the effect may last significantly longer, since the injected cushioning cannot be resorbed by the body. The full report from MSK Doctors also includes several case stories that follow active, healthy adults and the relief they gained from Arthrosamid, including both an Olympic athlete and a local physician.

The MSK Doctors team works to solve each patient’s issues as a holistic problem, with full-body solutions and custom care plans. For patients with osteoarthritis, this may include Arthrosamid injections, anti-inflammatory medicines, physiotherapy, or surgery if required.

The private clinic also offers a variety of pain management strategies, because the most effective techniques may vary from person to person. Aside from traditional painkiller medicines, the private clinic can also provide injections and advanced nerve-blocking techniques.

While it is new in clinics, this single-injection knee treatment has been extensively tested in humans for over 20 years. It has been found safe with minimal, usually temporary side effects, such as swelling or redness in the knee for a few days after the injection.

A spokesperson for MSK Doctors explained, “Arthrosamid, also known as Polyacrylamide (PAAG) hydrogel, presents a promising and innovative treatment option for knee osteoarthritis. Its unique mechanism of action, involving the provision of a scaffold for the synovial membrane, offers a new avenue for tissue regeneration. Clinical studies and real-world patient stories corroborate its efficacy, safety, and long-term benefits”
