Hyaluronic Acid Therapy for Osteoarthritis and Joint Pain

At The Canmore Clinic in Dunfermline, we offer Ostenil Plus knee injections as a non-surgical treatment for joint pain caused by osteoarthritis. This advanced therapy uses hyaluronic acid to improve joint lubrication, reduce stiffness, and relieve pain — helping you stay active and mobile without the need for stronger medication or surgery.

Treatment is carried out by experienced private GP Dr Matt Bulkeley, following a thorough consultation and clinical assessment.

What Is Ostenil Plus?

Ostenil Plus is a sterile, injectable solution containing sodium hyaluronate (a form of hyaluronic acid) that closely mimics the natural fluid found in healthy joints. When injected into the knee, it helps cushion and lubricate the joint, improving movement and reducing pain associated with wear and tear.

This treatment is particularly suitable for patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee or those who wish to delay or avoid surgery.

Benefits of Ostenil Plus Injections

  • Reduces joint pain and stiffness
  • Improves mobility and range of motion
  • Delays progression of osteoarthritis symptoms
  • Non-surgical and minimally invasive
  • Single injection required (in most cases)

What to Expect

  • A full assessment with Dr Matt Bulkeley to confirm suitability
  • A single intra-articular injection performed under sterile conditions
  • Treatment typically takes 10–15 minutes
  • You may resume light activities the same day, with full recovery in 1–2 days

Relief may begin within a few days and continue to improve over several weeks. The effects can last for up to 6 months or longer, depending on the severity of your condition and activity level.

Is Ostenil Plus Right for Me?

This treatment is ideal if you:

  • Have knee pain due to osteoarthritis
  • Are looking for an alternative to steroid injections or surgery
  • Wish to maintain joint function and mobility

We’ll guide you through your options during your initial consultation and help you make an informed choice.

How Much Does It Cost?

  • One knee: £250 (includes consultation, injection, and aftercare)
  • Both knees: £350 (same-day treatment)
