Definitive Guide To The Latest Cutting-Edge Knee Injection Treatments In The UK

A few years ago, my partner had knee surgery with two top doctors working together to fix her up... They said it was a joint operation.

It wasn’t until much later that I learned there are other options—some of which can help delay the need for surgery for quite a while, with a bit of luck. I recently found a new guide to six of the best options, including a few treatments that are so new that, even though they’re proven safe and effective, they’re still practically unknown. You can find the full guide at https://mskdoctors.com/doctors/thula-chelvan/articles/types-of-knee-injections-for-arthritis-benefits-side-effects-cost

The new guide comes from the knee specialists at MSK Doctors. If you haven’t heard of them, MSK Doctors is a private specialist clinic that provides fast access to top experts, with no waiting lists, referrals, or red tape. They also have tons of helpful information online, so you can be prepared before you even step in the door.

Six Types of Treatment

Traditionally, knee treatments used either corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid, and they work—but there are several newer techniques now available that may work even better.

Platelet-rich plasma, stem cell therapy, lipogems, and Arthrosamid are all options you can access today, and they could be a lot more effective in the right situation. The guide explains the optimal use for each technique, including how long it can last, the most common uses, and an estimate of the typical cost.

One new treatment, Arthrosamid, may have the potential to provide long-term relief from a single injection, if that’s something you’re interested in. The guide explains that, unlike typical arthritis injections, Arthrosamid uses a non-biodegradable hydrogel, which clinical trials suggest may remain in the body long-term, acting as a cushion and lubricant for your knee joint.

Cost & Considerations

The full guide highlights some interesting information about how both the costs and duration of treatment can vary widely, so the right fit for each individual isn’t always obvious.

For example, corticosteroids can offer fast relief for a low cost, with the understanding that the benefits are short-term. Alternatively, a treatment such as Arthrosamid can cost approximately $3,000 per injection, but the benefits could potentially last for much longer.

The Right Treatment for You

The right fit for you can depend on many factors—and the best way to find out is probably just to ask a specialist. “The decision to go for knee injections often comes down to how much your knee pain is affecting your daily life. If you’re finding it increasingly difficult to do things like climb stairs, walk your dog, or even just get around your home, it might be time to consider these treatments,” the author explains.

The good news is, that’s really easy. New and returning clients can speak to an MSK Doctors knee specialist directly at any time.

Since the private clinic does not require GP referrals or use waiting lists, you can schedule your own appointments online for consultation, diagnosis, or treatment.
