Long-Lasting Knee Pain Relief Without Surgery

Expert Arthrosamid® Treatment with Mr. Rishi Chana

If knee arthritis is limiting your ability to walk, exercise, travel, or enjoy everyday activities, Arthrosamid® may offer a long-lasting alternative to surgery.

Mr. Rishi Chana is a fellowship-trained Hip and Knee Specialist with a strong focus on joint preservation and helping patients remain active while delaying or avoiding joint replacement whenever possible. Arthrosamid® is one of the latest treatment options available for suitable patients with knee osteoarthritis who are seeking meaningful pain relief without surgery.

What Is Arthrosamid®?

Arthrosamid® is an innovative injectable hydrogel designed specifically for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

Unlike traditional knee injections that gradually break down over time, Arthrosamid® becomes integrated within the synovial lining of the knee joint. This unique mechanism helps cushion the joint, improve lubrication, reduce stiffness, and provide long-lasting pain relief following a single treatment.

The treatment consists of:

  • 97.5% water
  • 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide hydrogel

Once injected, the hydrogel remains within the joint and helps support healthier joint mechanics.

What Is Knee Osteoarthritis?

Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis affecting the knee joint.

Over time, the protective cartilage that cushions the joint wears away, causing:

  • Knee pain
  • Stiffness
  • Swelling
  • Reduced mobility
  • Difficulty walking and climbing stairs

As the condition progresses, everyday activities can become increasingly challenging and may significantly affect quality of life.

Is Arthrosamid® Right for You?

You may be a candidate for Arthrosamid® if you:

  • Have mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis
  • Experience ongoing knee pain despite physiotherapy or medication
  • Want to remain active and mobile
  • Wish to delay knee replacement surgery
  • Are looking for a non-surgical treatment option
  • Have not achieved sufficient relief from other injections

Is Arthrosamid® Right for You

During your consultation, Mr. Chana will assess your symptoms, imaging, and overall knee health to determine whether Arthrosamid® is appropriate for your situation.

Patients choose Arthrosamid® because it offers:

Long-Lasting Relief: Clinical studies have demonstrated sustained improvements in pain and function for several years following treatment.

Single Injection Treatment: Only one injection is typically required.

Minimally Invasive: No incisions, hospital admission, or general anaesthetic are required.
