Knee injection

Injection treatment with corticosteroid and / or hyaluronic acid (viscosupplementation) and / or PRP to treat:

The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis (OA). Evidence shows that treatment of OA  with HA viscosupplementation injection protects the joint, provides pain relief and can help delay total knee replacement surgery for up to 3 or more years.

PRP is another treatment option. Using a sample of your own blood the PRP is extracted to give a concentrated injection of growth factors and cytokines. It has most commonly been used in treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Clinical studies have reported pain relief and improved function for over a year in patients who are on the waiting list for total knee replacement. 

A full musculoskeletal examination will be performed and treatment options discussed at the time of the appointment
