What are Steroid Injections?

Cortisone Steroid joint injections are powerful anti-inflammatory, prescription only medication. Steroid joint injections are fast acting with pain relief after a few days to a week. however, the length of benefit can be short lived compared to Hyaluronic acid injections.

When injected for the right condition at the right time, pain can be reduced or removed for up to 3 months and in some instances for much longer. Conditions such as trigger finger can be cured forever with a single injection.

What are Hyaluronic acid Injections?

OSTENIL® which is a type of Hyaluronic acid is a treatment for the symptoms of osteoarthritis. Hyaluronic acid injections can be used in the knee, or in any of the other joints in the body that are classified as 'synovial'. Hyaluronic acid has been proven in clinical trials to be a safe and effective treatment, but not available on the NHS. The main reason for this is cost. The NHS suggest that the cost benefits do not outweigh the benefits to the patient. Hyaluronic acid injections have been used successfully for many patients and have enabled patients to avoid surgery. Hyaluronic acid injections are an option for you to consider if you have knee osteoarthritis but not ready for surgery.
