Frequently asked questions

  • The most appropriate treatment depends on your diagnosis, symptoms, activity levels and treatment goals. Options may include cortisone injections, hyaluronic acid injections, Arthrosamid, Kiomedine and NStride injections. Following assessment, we can advise which treatment may be most suitable for your condition.

  • Not always. Many knee conditions can be assessed through a detailed history, clinical examination and ultrasound assessment. If additional imaging such as X-rays or MRI scans would be helpful, this can be discussed during your consultation.

  • For some patients, injection therapy may help reduce pain, improve mobility and delay the need for knee replacement surgery. While injections cannot reverse arthritis, they may help manage symptoms, improve quality of life and maintain function for longer.

  • Knee pain can be caused by a range of conditions including knee arthritis, meniscus tears, cartilage damage, ligament injuries, tendonitis and patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner’s knee). Identifying the underlying cause is important to determine the most appropriate treatment and whether injection therapy may help.

  • Yes. Knee injections may help reduce pain, improve mobility and support day-to-day function in some patients with knee arthritis. Depending on the severity of arthritis, treatment options may include cortisone injections, hyaluronic acid injections, Arthrosamid®, Kiomedine® or NStride® injections.

  • In some cases, injections may help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms associated with meniscus tears and cartilage damage. Treatment suitability depends on the type of tear, the severity of symptoms and whether other structures within the knee joint are also affected.
