Expert Osteoarthritis (Knee Arthritis) Treatment in London

What Is Gonarthrosis (Knee Arthritis)?

Gonarthrosis, also known as knee osteoarthritis, is a common condition where the cartilage in your knee slowly wears away. This cartilage normally cushions the joint and helps it move smoothly. As it breaks down, the bones in your knee can start to rub against each other, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness.

It’s the most common type of arthritis affecting the knee and a major reason adults develop joint pain. Gonarthrosis can affect one or both sides of the knee and may worsen over time—making everyday activities harder and, in some cases, leading to the need for knee replacement surgery.

Our advanced arthritis treatment for the knee addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms. Using state-of-the-art diagnostics and evidence-based therapies, our knee pain specialists deliver relief, restore joint function, and help avoid surgery wherever possible.

What Can Gonarthrosis Treatment Help With?

Treatment for knee arthritis is suitable for a range of knee-related conditions, including:

Our arthritic knee treatments are customised to your age, lifestyle, symptom severity, and previous treatment history. We offer a holistic and science-driven approach to reduce pain, restore joint stability, and prevent further joint damage.

How Does Gonarthrosis Treatment Work?

At the Institute of Medical Physics, we offer a full spectrum of non-surgical treatment options for arthritis in knees. Our goal is to delay or completely avoid invasive surgery such as knee osteotomy or total knee replacement, especially in patients with mild to moderate arthritis knee symptoms.

Treatment for knee arthritis may include:

Shockwave Therapy

Acoustic energy targets inflamed tissue and stimulates cellular repair.

Intra-articular Injections

Corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid injections reduce inflammation and lubricate the knee joint.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Stimulates healing in the arthritic joint using your own growth factors.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Minimally invasive procedure that reduces pain by interrupting nerve signals.

Laser Therapy

Helps regenerate cartilage and ease pain in early-to-mid-stage arthritis knee conditions.

Targeted Physiotherapy

Builds strength and improves joint stability with guided rehab exercises.

Our integrated care approach ensures that each treatment is tailored specifically for your condition, joint status, and response to previous therapies.

Treatment Overview

Here’s what you can expect from our arthritis knee treatment process:

Initial Consultation

You’ll meet with a specialist in knee arthritis who will evaluate your condition through physical exams, imaging (X-rays or MRI), and medical history. We’ll identify the type of arthritis (e.g., osteoarthritis of rheumatoid arthritis) and assess joint damage severity.

Treatment Planning

Based on your symptoms, pain levels, and knee function, we’ll recommend the most effective treatment options—from injections to regenerative therapies.

Treatment Sessions

Depending on the therapy selected, sessions may occur weekly or fortnightly. Most patients begin to see a reduction in pain and stiffness within the first 2–3 visits.

Recovery and Aftercare

Unlike knee replacement surgery, our treatments require little to no downtime. You can usually return to your daily routine immediately. We provide aftercare guidelines to help you maintain results and protect the knee joint long-term.

Our Breakthrough Science – Your Best Life Without Knee Pain

With over 30 years of scientific innovation, Dr. Emanuel Paleco leads our approach to advanced joint care. His research in regenerative medicine and joint biomechanics has enabled the development of precision treatments that improve quality of life without the need for surgery.

Any Stage, Any Type of Arthritis

From early-stage cartilage softening to advanced osteoarthritis, we treat all forms of arthritis in knees. Whether it’s wear-and-tear arthritis or inflammatory arthritis, our therapies are tailored to target the underlying mechanisms.

Safe for Any Age or Activity Level

Our non-invasive treatments are suitable for older adults, athletes, and active individuals who want to avoid surgical intervention. We assess joint integrity and design your therapy plan based on your specific activity needs.

Zero Surgical Risk

Unlike total knee replacement surgery, our treatments carry no surgical risks or recovery periods. There are no hospital stays, anaesthesia, or postoperative complications—just effective relief through safe, modern interventions.

Fast, Effective Joint Relief

Our protocols aim to relieve pain and stiffness quickly. In most cases, patients report reduced symptoms within a few weeks of starting treatment. Ongoing sessions help rebuild strength and prolong knee health.

Gonarthrosis Treatment Prices

We believe in transparent pricing and personalised care. The cost of your arthritis knee treatment depends on the severity of joint damage, selected therapy, and number of sessions required.

Unlike clinics that only offer short-term symptom relief, our packages are designed to offer long-lasting improvement. We also provide bundled care plans, including diagnostics, follow-up, and rehabilitative support.

‍Our commitment: if your condition requires ongoing support, we’ll work with you until optimal pain relief and joint function are restored.
