Hyaluronic acid injections that restore joint lubrication, reduce inflammation and relieve pain — an effective non-surgical treatment for osteoarthritis.
Ostenil is a sterile solution of hyaluronic acid — a substance that naturally occurs in healthy joints, providing cushioning and lubrication. In osteoarthritis, this fluid degrades, causing the pain, stiffness and grinding sensation many patients experience.
By injecting Ostenil directly into the affected joint, we replenish the hyaluronic acid, restore lubrication and reduce inflammation — providing meaningful pain relief for months at a time.
Ostenil can be used in the knee, hip, shoulder, ankle and other joints. It is a safe, well-tolerated treatment with a strong clinical evidence base.
Both are hyaluronic acid viscosupplements. Ostenil is typically administered as a course of 3–5 weekly injections. Synvisc-One is a single injection. Our doctor will recommend the most appropriate for your joint and condition.
A quick, precise injection administered in our clinical setting by our consultant doctor.
Your doctor assesses the affected joint, reviews any imaging and confirms Ostenil is appropriate. We discuss the expected number of injections and the treatment course.
The joint area is cleaned thoroughly. A local anaesthetic may be used if required to minimise discomfort during injection.
Ostenil solution is injected directly into the joint space using precise clinical technique. The procedure takes only a few minutes per joint.
You can mobilise immediately. We typically recommend a course of 3 injections, one week apart. Most patients notice improvement after the second or third injection.
