About Arthrosamid®
Arthrosamid® is a unique Arthrosamid injection treatment specifically designed to relieve knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. This innovative treatment option involves an intra-articular injection directly into the knee joint, providing long-term pain relief by acting as a “shock absorber”.
Based on an innovative hydrogel technology, Arthrosamid® is 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide and 97.5% water. When injected into the knee, it integrates into the synovial lining of the joint, restoring viscosity within the synovial fluid, lubricating, and cushioning the joint. This has been shown to be effective at reducing pain and improving joint function. This treatment is a non-biodegradable single-dose injection that delivers safe, long-acting, and sustained pain relief, improving the quality of life for patients with knee osteoarthritis. Arthrosamid® is at the forefront of injectable management options for osteoarthritis.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, ensuring a safe and effective experience for patients. By using a local anaesthetic, the injection site is numbed, minimizing discomfort during the Arthrosamid® treatment.
Arthrosamid injections for knee osteoarthritis are increasingly being recognized as a viable treatment option for those seeking to manage their pain without invasive surgery. This safe and effective method has shown to help maintain joint function and alleviate knee pain for an extended period. The gel stays within the joint space, working as a shock absorber to cushion the knee joint and reduce the strain on worn-out cartilage.
If you are looking for a reliable and innovative treatment option for knee pain relief, consider Arthrosamid injections at Cheshire Joint Injections. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anaesthetic, making it a convenient and safe and effective choice for many patients.

Patient story
Nelson Miller
Former Olympian and High Performance Coach, GB Taekwondo
Nelson competed in taekwondo at the Sydney 2000 Olympics and now coaches Great Britain’s national team in Manchester. Years of training through injury left him with knee osteoarthritis. Coaching keeps him on his feet demonstrating techniques all day, and he had reached the point of limping out of sessions and coaching from the floor to ease the pressure on his knees.
Our clinic director, Ben Harper, has managed Nelson’s knee for years, trying gels and steroid injections before suggesting Arthrosamid. Nelson was keen to avoid a knee replacement and the long recovery that comes with it. He had a single injection into his right knee, with no side effects, then followed a conditioning and weights programme each morning before coaching.
He now walks and cycles without pain and rates the improvement in his quality of life at as much as 70%. In his words, “Since the injection, I’m back to loving my coaching.”
