Arthrosamid® injection is a cutting-edge, non-surgical solution that provides long-lasting relief from knee arthritis, helping you stay active and avoid major surgery.

What is Knee Osteoarthritis?

Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of chronic joint pain in adults. It occurs when the cartilage in the knee gradually wears down, leading to:

  • Persistent knee pain
  • Joint stiffness (especially in the morning or after activity)
  • Swelling and inflammation
  • Reduced mobility and function

If left untreated, symptoms can worsen over time—often leading patients to consider knee replacement surgery.

Too many inflammatory cells can result in a buildup of enzymes responsible for cartilage breakdown, which means the knee joint cannot heal, cartilage continues to breakdown and the pain cycle continues.
The synovial tissue or fluid is damaged or irritated.
Inflammatory cells are produced in response to the inflammation.
The affected area of tissue thickens and becomes inflamed, causing pain.
Inflammatory cells are released into the synovial joint capsule in an attempt to heal the damaged tissue.
