Cingal Joint Injection for Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment

This innovative injection procedure combines the benefits of corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid to alleviate pain and protect the knee joint. As with all injections at Life Fit Wellness, it is delivered by our Specialist (Stewart Kerr) using ultrasound-guidance to ensure accuracy and safety.

Cingal is a unique solution that blends hyaluronic acid, known for its lubricating properties in joints, and a fast-acting corticosteroid which provides immediate anti-inflammatory component. This combination provides immediate pain relief from inflammation while also providing mechanical lubrication, shock absorption and joint biology optimisation.

Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Cingal joint injections in managing osteoarthritis symptoms. They’ve highlighted that patients who received Cingal injections experienced superior pain relief compared to those receiving traditional treatments or hyaluronic acid alone. Additionally, they exhibited sustained improvement in joint function and reduced inflammation over an extended period.

The Combined Effects of Corticosteroid and Hyaluronic Acid

Corticosteroids swiftly alleviate pain by reducing inflammation within the joint. Simultaneously, hyaluronic acid provides lubrication and supports the joint’s natural cushioning, promoting better mobility and reducing friction that exacerbates pain.

How Cingal Works to Improve Pain and Protect the Joint

  • Immediate Pain Relief: The corticosteroid component rapidly reduces inflammation, offering immediate relief from pain associated with osteoarthritis.
  • Long-lasting Effects: Hyaluronic acid, known for its viscoelastic properties, enhances joint lubrication and cushioning. This supports prolonged pain relief and improved joint mobility.
  • Joint Protection: The combined action of these components not only manages pain but also works to protect the joint by reducing inflammation, potentially slowing down the progression of osteoarthritis.
