Sinovial Joint Injections

What is Sinovial injections?

Sinovial is a well-established Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injection assisting in relieving pain and improving joint function in patients with osteoarthritis. It is commonly used in patients with arthritis to the knee, shoulder, thumb, big toe or ankle joints in combination with physiotherapy for best results.

Sinovial is different to most other HA injection options in that it contains a hybrid of both high and low molecular weight HA. This is believed to closely match natural synovial fluid found withing joints.

At Physiotherapy Matters, we offer 2 options for Sinovial injections:

• Sinovial HL 64: Which contains 64mg of hybrid HA, 32mg of low and 32mg of high molecular weight within a 2ml single injection, used for larger joints such as shoulders, knees and ankles.
• Sinovial HL 32: Which contains 32mg of hybrid HA, 16mg of low and 16mg of high molecular weight within a 1ml single injection, used for smaller joints such as elbows, thumbs and big toes.

Both injections are usually used as a single injection but on occasions require a second injection if some benefit is noticed after 4 weeks but not significant improvement. The effects of the injection usually last at least 6 months, often longer and can continue for 12-18 months dependant on the level of arthritis and the level of activity you undertake.

Additionally, Sinovial injections have non-animal origin. The product is synthesised via bacterial fermentation; this reduces the risk of allergic reactions. The injections are well tolerated and suitable for repeat use.

The adaptability of Sinovial injections, makes them ideal for patients suffering from arthritis in multiple joints. Which means it provides more patient specific treatment approach compared to other products.

This is why, the Sinovial injections are best suited for patient’s with mild to moderate levels of osteoarthritis in joints like the knee, ankle or shoulder, or when the patient requires more customised approach based on the joint size and the severity of their condition. The Sinovial injections are produced by non-animal derived HA and when the patient needs a repeatable, safe option for long-term management.

The treatment experience with Sinovial injection procedure is quick and minimally invasive.

Depending on the option chosen for the specific patient it may be a single injection or a series over a few weeks. The injections are done in our clinic, without sedation and the patient is required to stay for 10-15 mins after the injection in the waiting area prior leaving. This is to make sure that the patient is feeling fine post-injection. Additionally, the patient should keep light activities for 24-48 hours post injection.
