Struggling with Knee Pain That Just Won’t Go Away?
If knee pain is stopping you from walking comfortably, staying active, or enjoying daily life, you’re not alone. Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of chronic joint pain- and for many, the options can feel limited: temporary relief, repeated treatments, or major surgery.
But what if there was another way?
A treatment that is non-surgical, long-lasting, and designed to restore movement- not just mask pain.
That’s where Arthrosamid® injection is changing the landscape.
Now available in Maidstone, Sevenoaks, and Sittingbourne (for Xcel Health & The Physiotherapy Centre), and in Sevenoaks for Manor Clinic, this innovative treatment is helping patients move more freely and live more fully- without the need for surgery.
What is Knee Osteoarthritis?
Knee osteoarthritis is a progressive condition where the cartilage cushioning the joint gradually wears away. As this protective layer breaks down, the bones begin to rub against each other, causing:
• Persistent or worsening pain
• Stiffness, especially in the morning or after rest
• Swelling and inflammation
• Reduced mobility and flexibility
A major source of this pain is inflammation within the joint lining (synovium), which creates a cycle of irritation, damage, and discomfort.
Over time, this can significantly impact your independence, activity levels, and overall quality of life.
Why Traditional Treatments Often Fall Short
Many patients try multiple treatments before finding lasting relief:
• Painkillers and anti-inflammatory medications
• Physiotherapy and exercise programs
• Knee supports or braces
• Hyaluronic acid injections
• Steroid injections
• Eventually, knee replacement surgery
While these can help manage symptoms, they often:
• Provide only short-term relief
• Require repeated treatments
• Do not address the underlying joint environment
• Come with limitations or risks
For patients looking to avoid surgery or repeated interventions, this can be frustrating.
Introducing Arthrosamid®: A Different Approach
Arthrosamid® is a next-generation injectable hydrogel implant designed to provide long-term relief from knee osteoarthritis pain.
Unlike traditional injections that act temporarily, Arthrosamid® works within the joint tissue itself, delivering sustained improvement from a single treatment.
Key benefits at a glance:
• Non-surgical, minimally invasive
• Single injection treatment
• Same-day procedure
• No hospital stay required
• Long-lasting pain relief (up to 5 years)
• Improved mobility and joint function
What Makes Arthrosamid® Different?
Arthrosamid® is an injectable hydrogel implant designed to provide sustained relief from knee osteoarthritis symptoms through a different mechanism compared to traditional treatments.
• Designed for long-lasting effect
Clinical studies have demonstrated that a single injection of Arthrosamid® may provide a significant reduction in knee pain, with effects maintained for up to five years in many patients.
• Works within the joint lining
Arthrosamid® integrates into the synovial tissue of the knee, where it helps improve the elasticity of the joint lining and supports joint function.
• Single-treatment approach
Arthrosamid® is administered as a one-step procedure, typically requiring only a single injection.
• Non-surgical option
The treatment is performed as a minimally invasive outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia, with no requirement for hospital admission.
Instead, Arthrosamid®:
• Works within the synovial tissue
• Improves the joint’s internal environment
• Provides sustained cushioning and support
In simple terms:
It acts like a soft, long-lasting cushion inside your knee, helping reduce pain and improve movement over time.
How Does Arthrosamid® Work?
Once injected into the knee, Arthrosamid® becomes integrated within the synovial lining of the joint.
This allows it to:
• Increase tissue elasticity
• Reduce friction within the joint
• Improve joint movement
• Break the cycle of inflammation and pain
Rather than offering short-term relief, it helps restore function from within the joint itself.
What to Expect from the Procedure
Arthrosamid® treatment is designed to be simple, safe, and convenient.
The process:
1. Local anaesthetic is applied to numb the area
2. The knee is cleaned and prepared
3. The injection is delivered into the joint (sometimes with ultrasound guidance)
4. A small dressing is applied
The procedure is quick and completed in a single visit
You can go home the same day
Recovery: Minimal Disruption to Your Life
One of the biggest advantages of Arthrosamid® is the minimal recovery time.
After treatment, you may experience:
• Mild discomfort
• Temporary swelling
• A different sensation in the joint
These effects are usually short-lived.
Aftercare guidance:
• Avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks
• Gradually return to normal movement
• Follow physiotherapy if recommended
Compared to surgery, recovery is significantly quicker and less disruptive.
When Will You Feel the Results?
Patients often notice improvement quickly- but the full benefit builds over time.
• Within 24 hours: early pain relief may begin
• Within a few weeks: noticeable improvement
• 4–12 weeks: maximum benefit achieved
This gradual progression reflects how the treatment integrates into the joint.
Proven, Long-Lasting Results
Arthrosamid® is supported by strong clinical evidence.
• Significant reduction in knee pain
• Improved function and mobility
• Results maintained for up to 5 years after a single injection
In addition, patient response rates are high, with many experiencing meaningful improvements in both pain and quality of life.
Real Patient Impact
For many patients, Arthrosamid® is more than just pain relief- it’s life-changing.
Patients have reported:
• Returning to sport and physical activity
• Walking comfortably again
• Avoiding or delaying knee replacement surgery
• Regaining independence and confidence
This is what makes Arthrosamid® a truly transformative treatment.
