    WHAT IS HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY?

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing processes through the inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. It is used for a variety of treatments and conditions, offering numerous potential health benefits.

    • Reduced Inflammation and Pain: The therapy is particularly effective in reducing inflammation, speeding up tissue repair, and alleviating pain.
    • Improved Circulation and Immune Function: HBOT encourages the formation of new blood vessels, boosts circulation, and strengthens the immune system, making it beneficial for overall well-being.
    • Support for Cognitive Function and Energy Levels: The increased oxygen supply also supports cognitive functions and boosts energy levels.

    Arthrosamid® Injections

    SERVICES

    Arthrosamid® Injections

    Arthrosamid® Injections for Knee Osteoarthritis

    Advanced non-surgical treatment for long-lasting pain relief

    Arthrosamid® is a breakthrough hydrogel injection designed to relieve pain and improve function for people living with knee osteoarthritis. This minimally invasive treatment cushions the joint, reduces inflammation, and provides durable relief often from just a single injection.

    For many, Arthrosamid® offers a safe and effective alternative to steroid injections, hyaluronic acid, or even surgery, giving patients the freedom to move with greater ease and confidence.

    Arthrosamid® Injections

    Key Benefits of Arthrosamid®

    • Minimally invasive, outpatient procedure
    • Long-term symptom relief, lasting up to 5 years
    • Effective for mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis
    • May delay or avoid the need for knee replacement surgery

    Book your consultation today with one of our Sports Medicine  Specialists.

    Scientific Evidence

    Arthrosamid® has been shown to exceed the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) of 9 points for knee osteoarthritis outcomes, with improvements maintained for up to 5 years after a single injection.

    How Arthrosamid® Works

    Arthrosamid® is a unique, non-biodegradable hydrogel. Once injected into the knee joint, it integrates with the synovium (joint lining), creating a cushioning effect and restoring lubrication. Unlike temporary treatments, Arthrosamid® becomes a permanent part of the soft tissue, continuing to protect and support the joint over time.

    Clinical studies have shown significant pain reduction and improved joint function, with benefits sustained beyond 3 years—and in many cases lasting up to 5 years.

    Clinical Outcomes

    Patients treated with Arthrosamid® frequently report:

    • Noticeable and lasting pain reduction
    • Improved joint mobility and flexibility
    • Greater ease with daily activities
    • Enhanced confidence in movement and exercise

    This evidence-based treatment is transforming how osteoarthritis is managed, offering patients renewed independence without major surgery.

    Safety & Side Effects

    Arthrosamid® has undergone extensive clinical research and is considered a safe option for suitable patients. Reported side effects are generally mild and temporary, including short-lived discomfort at the injection site or minor swelling, which usually resolves without intervention.

    Treatment at Opus

    Arthrosamid® is now available privately with Dr Kush Joshi  

    Your treatment will be carried out in a safe, clinical environment by specialists experienced in advanced joint preservation therapies.

    Interested in Joint Injections?

    Our specialists are here to help. Book your appointment and take the first step towards better health.

    Arthrosamid® Injections

    Why Choose Arthrosamid® Over Other Injections?

    • Steroid injections  : Short-term relief, repeated frequently
    • Hyaluronic acid injections : Temporary improvement, wears off in months
    • Arthrosamid®: Integrates with joint tissue, providing durable long-term benefits from a single injection

    For many patients, Arthrosamid® bridges the gap between conservative management and joint replacement surgery or stem cell injections .

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can’t find the answer to your question? Get in touch with our friendly team for prompt, personalised support and information.

    How soon will I feel the benefits?

    Some patients notice improvement within weeks, while for others the full effects may take longer to develop.

    Will I need to limit activity after treatment?

    Most patients return to normal daily activities quickly. Your consultant will advise on tailored recovery guidance.

    Can Arthrosamid® delay the need for knee replacement surgery?

    Yes. Many patients experience years of relief, allowing them to postpone or avoid surgery altogether.
