How It Works

From consultation to recovery — a simple, four-step path to lasting relief.

01

Consultation

Contact us to book a phone call consultation with Dr. Sara or Dr. Desai to determine if Arthrosamid® is right for you, and we will send you our intake questionnaire to proceed.

02

Assessment

Once we receive your questionnaire and any pertinent imaging, we review them to decide if Arthrosamid® is the right treatment for you, then proceed with booking a formal in-office injection.

03

Injection

A single or bilateral ultrasound-guided injection is performed by our team under local anaesthesia, typically a 60–90 minute procedure.

04

Recovery

Follow our rehabilitation program. Most patients notice improvement within weeks, with full benefits by 12 weeks.

Additional Injection Therapies

Arthrosamid® isn't the only option we offer. For patients where a different approach fits better, we also provide proven alternatives — every injection performed under ultrasound guidance for precision.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Injections

A lubricating gel injection that can ease pain and improve joint movement — a well-established option for milder knee osteoarthritis.

Corticosteroid Injections

A fast-acting anti-inflammatory injection that can calm painful flare-ups and provide short-term relief.
