Hyperbaric Chamber

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.

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy:

Enhanced Healing: Increasing oxygen concentration in all body tissues, HBOT accelerates the rate of healing and aids in recovery from acute injuries that involve inflammation, pain, and loss of function.
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.

WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?

Osteopathy is a non-invasive, drug-free form of therapy that is effective across a broad spectrum of health conditions. It aims to enhance overall health by strengthening the body’s musculoskeletal framework.

Osteopathy involves manual ‘hands-on’ techniques to boost circulation and correct biomechanical imbalances, ensuring the smooth interplay of the skeleton, muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues which is essential for optimal well-being.

How Osteopathy Can Help

Our osteopaths are trained to identify conditions that may require referral to other specialists such as sports medicine physicians, physiotherapists, and orthopaedics.

However, osteopathic treatments can offer relief from a variety of issues, including:

Back and neck pain
Neuralgia
Whiplash

Minor sports injuries
Sciatica
Pain in the feet, ankles, knees, and hips
Work-related musculoskeletal problems
Headaches
Joint pains in the upper and lower body
Postural issues

Frequently Asked Questions

GET IN TOUCH

Is osteopathy safe?

Yes, osteopathy is safe. The treatment involves non-invasive and gentle methods, including relaxed movements, mobilisation and manipulation of joints, along with soft tissue massage. These approaches have been proven to be remarkably safe, as they do not involve surgery or drugs. Before beginning your personalised treatment programme, we will explain any possible risks and address any concerns you may have. Osteopathic care has successfully helped millions of people maintain and improve their health over many years.

Is osteopathy painful?

Osteopathy treatments are generally not painful. Some techniques may cause discomfort during or immediately after the session, especially if the treated area is already inflamed or severely restricted. However, these sensations are usually temporary. Osteopaths aim to make the treatment as comfortable as possible, and any discomfort should be balanced against the relief and mobility that follows.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of osteopathy treatments required varies depending on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. While some patients might feel improvement after just a few sessions, others with more chronic or complex issues may require a longer course of treatment. Your osteopath will tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs and adjust it as necessary based on your progress.

Will I feel better immediately?

Some patients experience immediate relief after their osteopathy session, while others may notice improvements gradually over a series of sessions. The response to treatment can vary depending on the individual and the nature of the condition being treated. It’s common to experience some soreness for a day or two after treatment as your body adjusts and begins to heal.

What happens at an osteopathy appointment?

An osteopathy appointment typically begins with a detailed consultation where the osteopath will take a comprehensive medical history and may ask questions about your lifestyle and diet. This is followed by a physical examination where the osteopath assesses your posture, mobility, and areas of tenderness or tension. Based on the examination, the osteopath will perform specific osteopathic treatments which may include manipulation, mobilisation of joints, and soft tissue techniques. The session usually concludes with advice on exercises or lifestyle adjustments to aid your recovery.

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.

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.

Arthrosamid® is now available privately with Dr Kush Joshi
