Osteoarthritis is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide, causing joint pain and stiffness. At ClinicAll Banbury, we offer advanced treatments to help manage osteoarthritis, including guided steroid injections and hyaluronic acid treatments such as Durolane and Ostinel Plus.
Understanding Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterised by the breakdown of cartilage, which leads to pain, swelling, and reduced joint movement. It can affect any joint but is most commonly found in the knees, hips, hands, and spine. Managing osteoarthritis effectively is crucial to maintaining mobility and quality of life. Unmanaged this can cause a real limitation and a lifetime of pain.
Exercise, specifically strengthening exercises can really help manage the effect of OA and is a mainstay of any sensible treatment. Diet plays a crucial role also, avoiding inflammatory foods and drinks! One of the most common things we hear in clinic is its too painful to perform the exercises that will ultimately help, or there is swelling and pain after the exercises, well, at ClinicAll we have you covered.
Guided Steroid Injections
One of the most effective treatments for osteoarthritis is guided steroid injections. These injections deliver powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected joint, providing significant pain relief and reducing inflammation.
Benefits of Guided Steroid Injections
- Precise delivery using ultrasound imaging guidance, our specialists ensure the steroid is accurately injected into the affected area, maximising its effectiveness.
- Pain Relief: Patients often experience rapid pain relief, which can last for several weeks to months. Enough time to get in the gym pain free!
- Reduced Inflammation: The anti-inflammatory properties of steroids help decrease joint swelling and improve mobility.
- Non-Surgical: This minimally invasive procedure offers an alternative to surgery, with fewer risks and a shorter recovery time.
Hyaluronic Acid Treatments
In addition to steroid injections, ClinicAll Banbury provides hyaluronic acid treatments, including Durolane and Ostinel Plus. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in joint fluid that lubricates and cushions the joints. Hyaluronic acid treatment is designed to provide long-lasting pain relief for osteoarthritis. It supplements the natural hyaluronic acid in the joint, improving lubrication and reducing pain and stiffness.
Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid
- Single Injection: Unlike other treatments that require multiple injections, Durolane provides effective relief with just one injection.
- Long-Lasting Relief: Many patients experience pain relief for up to 9-12 months following a hyaluronic acid injection.
- Natural Lubrication: By restoring the joint’s natural lubrication, Durolane and Ostinel Plus helps improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
