Frequently asked questions
How is hyaluronic acid different from a steroid injection?
Steroid injections reduce inflammation quickly but the effect typically lasts 6–12 weeks. Hyaluronic acid lubricates and protects the joint, with benefit often lasting 6–12 months.
What is Arthrosamid®?
Arthrosamid® is a non-biodegradable hydrogel injected into the knee. A single injection can give years of pain relief for suitable patients with knee osteoarthritis.
How soon will I feel better?
Most patients notice improvement within 2–6 weeks. We'll review you at 6 weeks to assess response.
Are there side effects?
Mild soreness or swelling for 24–48 hours is common. Serious side effects are rare. We'll discuss everything in detail at your consultation.
Why patients choose GB Clinic Oxford
Every consultation is led by a senior HCPC-registered musculoskeletal clinician with post-graduate training in diagnostic ultrasound and injection therapy. That matters because the difference between a routine injection and one that genuinely changes your pain is millimetres of accuracy, a correct diagnosis, and a rehabilitation plan tailored to your goals. We invest in high-resolution imaging, single-use sterile consumables and evidence-based protocols so that the care you receive here matches — and often exceeds — what you'd expect from a tertiary NHS or private hospital service.
Because we're an independent MSK specialist clinic — not a general physiotherapy chain — every appointment gives you unhurried time with a decision-maker. There is no fragmented pathway: your scan, diagnosis, injection and rehab plan all happen in a single visit, with a written summary sent to you (and, if you'd like, to your GP or consultant) the same day.
Safety, governance and standards
Our injection therapists work within nationally recognised prescribing frameworks (Patient Group Directions and independent prescribing), and every clinician holds current professional indemnity insurance. We follow infection-control standards set by the Royal College of Radiologists and the Faculty of Sport & Exercise Medicine. Adverse-event rates for image-guided steroid and hyaluronic acid injections in our clinic are consistent with, or below, published international benchmarks.
We are part of the wider GB Clinics group, which brings shared clinical governance, peer review and continuing professional development to every location. If your treatment isn't the right answer we'll say so — and we work closely with orthopaedic surgeons, pain consultants, rheumatologists and radiologists across Oxford, London and the Thames Valley when onward referral is the safer option.
Serving Oxford and the surrounding area
Patients travel to see us from across Oxford — Botley, Summertown, Headington, Cowley, Iffley, Marston, Jericho and central Oxford — and from further afield including Abingdon, Witney, Kidlington, Bicester, Didcot, Wallingford, Wantage, Wheatley, Thame, Woodstock, Chipping Norton, Banbury, Henley-on-Thames and Reading. Free on-site parking, evening appointments and Saturday clinics make it easy to fit an appointment around work or family commitments. If travel is difficult, home visits can be arranged for assessment, follow-up physiotherapy and selected injections across most of Oxfordshire.
Whether you're a runner with a stubborn Achilles problem, a keen gardener whose knee is stopping you enjoying the weekends, or someone who simply wants to walk the dog or lift a grandchild without pain, our aim is the same: an accurate diagnosis, a treatment that has the best chance of working for you, and a clear plan for getting back to the things that matter.
