ABOUT HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS

What Are Hyaluronic Acid Injections?

Written under the guidance of Jack Holland, Chartered Physiotherapist and Sports Therapist (BSc, MSc, MCSP, MAAP), supporting patients across Wickford, Basildon, Rayleigh and South Essex.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections are a treatment for joint pain, most commonly used for osteoarthritis of the knee. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance found in joint fluid, and injecting it directly into an affected joint helps restore lubrication and cushioning, reducing pain and stiffness and helping to protect the joint over time.

At Wickford Physiotherapy, we use Ostenil, a leading Hyaluronic Acid injection, and we’re a certified Ostenil-approved clinic. Our injections are delivered under ultrasound guidance by our expert sonographer and physio, Chris Barker, for maximum accuracy and comfort. This means the injection is placed precisely where it’s needed, rather than relying on landmarks alone.

AVAILABILITYAvailable at our Wickford Main Clinic.

What Can Hyaluronic Acid Injections Help With?

Hyaluronic Acid injections are particularly well suited to:

  • Knee osteoarthritis, where they can reduce pain and improve joint movement
  • Other joint pain, including hip, shoulder and ankle joints affected by wear and tear
  • Tendon problems, where guided injection can support pain relief alongside rehabilitation

If you’re dealing with ongoing joint pain that hasn’t responded to rest, exercise or physiotherapy alone, an Ostenil Hyaluronic Acid injection may be a helpful next step, often alongside a wider physiotherapy plan rather than as a standalone fix.

What to Expect

Your injection is carried out by Chris Barker, using real-time ultrasound imaging to guide the needle precisely into the joint. We use Ostenil, and Wickford Physiotherapy holds Ostenil clinic accreditation. The procedure is quick, carried out in clinic, and most patients are able to go about their day afterwards with minimal downtime.

Which Hyaluronic Acid Product Do You Use?

We use Ostenil, a well-established Hyaluronic Acid injection, and Wickford Physiotherapy is a certified Ostenil-approved clinic.
