How do Arthrosamid injections work?
Arthrosamid injections work by putting a soft, gel-like cushion right inside your knee joint. This gel mixes well with the natural tissues in your knee and helps protect the joint from the rubbing and pressure that can cause pain and stiffness.
What makes Arthrosamid different is that the gel stays in your knee for a long time, often months or even years. This means you get lasting relief without needing to go back for many treatments. It’s a simple and convenient way to ease knee pain without surgery or oral medication.
The science behind Arthrosamid injections
Arthrosamid injections use a special kind of soft gel that works well with your body and doesn’t cause irritation. Arthrosamid is designed to last a long time inside your knee, reducing the requirement for frequent follow-up treatments. It breaks down at a much slower rate than other similar treatments on the market.
When the gel is injected into the knee, it spreads out and creates a smooth layer between the worn-down parts of the joint. This helps reduce the rough rubbing that causes pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis. By acting like a cushion, the gel helps ease pressure and makes moving your knee more comfortable.
The gel also helps the knee absorb shocks better and keeps the joint steady while you move. As it stays in place and works with your natural tissues, it provides long-lasting support and relief.
When were Arthrosamid injections released?
Arthrosamid injections were first introduced in the UK on October 25, 2021 during a major orthopaedic conference. The treatment has been developed over more than 20 years and has been used safely in patients since the 2000’s.
Which countries have approved Arthrosamid injections for use?
As of 2025, Arthrosamid injections are approved and used in several countries, including the UK, Italy, Canada and many parts of Europe. However, it’s not yet approved in the United States, where it’s still being reviewed.

The benefits of Arthrosamid injections
Arthrosamid injections offer several benefits for people with knee osteoarthritis, including:
1. Long-lasting pain relief
One huge benefit of Arthrosamid injections is that they provide long-lasting pain relief. The soft gel stays in your knee for many months helping to cushion the joint. Because of this, you’ll have less pain and stiffness over time, without the need to keep getting treatments on a regular basis. Many patients find they can do daily activities more comfortably and move their knee more easily after the injection.
2. Non-surgical treatment
Arthrosamid injections offer a non-surgical option to manage knee pain. Instead of going through surgery, which can be invasive and require a long recovery time, this treatment is done with a simple injection. It’s a much less stressful way to get relief, allowing you to avoid the risks and downtime that come with surgery.
3. Improves mobility and reduces swelling
The injections can help improve your mobility by reducing pain and swelling in the knee. When your knee feels less stiff and sore, it becomes easier to move around and do everyday activities. Many patients notice they can walk, climb stairs and even exercise with less discomfort after treatment.
4. Minimal treatments required
A key benefit of Arthrosamid injections is that usually only a single treatment is needed. Unlike other therapies that may need multiple visits to the doctor and repeated injections, Arthrosamid provides long-lasting relief with just one treatment.
5. High safety rating
Arthrosamid injections are considered safe and are well-tolerated by most patients. The gel is designed to work with your body without causing harmful reactions. The risk of side effects is low, making it a reliable treatment option. Many patients find Arthrosamid to be a gentle but effective way to manage their knee pain, without having to worry about serious side effects and complications.
Who are Arthrosamid injections for?
Arthrosamid injections are suitable for patients who suffer from knee pain and stiffness due to osteoarthritis. They’re a good choice if you want to avoid surgery or if other treatments like medicine or exercises haven’t been successful. The injections can help reduce pain and make it easier to move your knee. They work best for people with mild to moderate knee problems.

Patient reviews and testimonials
Do Arthrosamid injections work? Here are some real-life experiences:
The following feedback is from Les Goldhawk, a farmer who opted for Arthrosamid injection treatment and saw a real improvement in her quality of life:
“As well as improvement to my mobility issues, there’s been a huge impact on my sleep. Due to the agonising pain I’d been experiencing, I wasn’t able to sleep properly. In fact, I hadn’t had a decent night’s sleep for over three years which was really affecting my quality of life. The difference in how I feel on a day-to-day basis is huge. It’s one of the best things I’ve done.” Read his full story on the official Arthrosamid website.
Another testimonial comes from former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies, who also received Arthrosamid injections. Here’s what she had to say:
‘’I can’t believe it’s been two years since my initial treatment with Arthrosamid® – time has flown by, in part because I’m feeling so great both physically and mentally. Looking back to 2022, I’d been in so much pain and discomfort with my knee osteoarthritis that it was really starting to affect my day-to-day life and get me down.’’ Read her full story on the official Arthrosamid website.
