Sore Knees? Here’s a New Option for Knee Osteoarthritis Relief
Move freely. Live fully.
We love living in the mountains: hiking, skiing, biking, walking. But when your knees start pushing back, even everyday movement can feel heavy.
If you wake up with stiffness, feel swelling after activity, avoid stairs, or notice grinding or clicking in your knee, you may be experiencing knee osteoarthritis.
Knee osteoarthritis happens when the protective cartilage in the joint gradually breaks down. This creates friction, inflammation, and pain that does not just appear during workouts — it lingers through daily life.
For many people, traditional treatments provide temporary relief. But they often do not last.
That is where a new option comes in.
A New Option: ARTHROSAMID at Creekside Health
Creekside Health now offers ARTHROSAMID, a cutting-edge injectable hydrogel implant designed specifically for knee osteoarthritis.
ARTHROSAMID is a single-treatment, in-clinic injection that provides long-lasting, proven pain relief for many patients — without surgery.
It is administered by Dr. Jenny Turner, Sports Medicine Physician, using ultrasound guidance for precise placement inside the knee joint.
Patients are in and out of the clinic the same day.
Why Traditional Treatments Often Fall Short
Many people with knee osteoarthritis try:
Pain medications
Corticosteroid injections
Hyaluronic acid injections
These can help for a period of time. But they do not address the ongoing degeneration inside the joint — and their effects often fade within weeks or months.
This creates a cycle of repeat treatments.
ARTHROSAMID was developed to change that cycle.
What Makes ARTHROSAMID Different
ARTHROSAMID is not a steroid. It is not a temporary lubricant.
It is a medical-grade hydrogel implant made mostly of water and a stable, non-degradable hydrogel. Once injected, it integrates with the lining of the knee joint.
This creates a durable, cushioning layer that:
Reduces friction between joint surfaces
Absorbs mechanical stress
Improves joint movement
Helps calm inflammation
Because the hydrogel does not break down like other injectables, its effect can last for years rather than months.
What Patients Notice
Clinical studies and real-world experience show that many patients report:
Reduced knee pain
Improved joint mobility
Less swelling
Greater confidence with movement
Some patients use ARTHROSAMID to delay or avoid knee replacement surgery.
What the Procedure Looks Like
The treatment is simple and carefully guided:
Your knee is cleaned and prepared.
A local anesthetic is applied to numb the area.
ARTHROSAMID is injected into the knee joint, often with ultrasound guidance.
The needle is removed, and a small dressing is placed.
The entire visit typically takes under 30 minutes.
Most patients walk out of the clinic on their own.
What to Expect After Treatment
You may leave the clinic the same day.
Mild discomfort or swelling can occur as the anesthetic wears off.
Many patients report little to no discomfort.
You can continue your usual medications.
Maximum benefit often develops gradually over 4 to 12 weeks, although some people notice improvement sooner.
Strenuous activity should be avoided early on, and guided rehabilitation is encouraged.
Long-Term Outlook
Research shows ARTHROSAMID remains safe and effective years after a single injection.
It is supported by more than two decades of research and has been used in thousands of patients across Europe.
While osteoarthritis has no cure, ARTHROSAMID may significantly reduce or relieve knee pain and improve daily function.
Who It May Be Right For
ARTHROSAMID may be suitable for adults with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis who:
Have ongoing knee pain or swelling
Have tried other treatments without lasting relief
Are not ready for or not suited for knee replacement surgery
It may not be appropriate for advanced deformity, infection, or post-replacement knees.
That is why consultation matters.
