ABOUT THIS SERVICE
Cingal is a knee injection combining hyaluronic acid with corticosteroid in a single treatment. It may be considered for selected knee joint problems where both components are clinically appropriate, bringing two different approaches to managing joint pain together in one injection. Suitability is determined following assessment and discussion of the available alternatives.
WHO IS IT FOR?
________
People with selected joint pain, including some cases of osteoarthritis or meniscal-related irritation, who are suitable for a combined hyaluronic acid and corticosteroid injection.

BENEFITS & GOALS
Reduce knee joint symptoms where possible; improve comfort and function; support activity and rehabilitation; combine corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid within a single knee injection. Individual response and duration of benefit vary.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Your knee is clinically assessed to confirm whether Cingal is appropriate and to discuss alternative treatment options. Where suitable and arranged, Cingal can be administered as part of the same appointment without the separate private prescription process required for a steroid-only injection. The procedure, potential benefits and risks, expected response and aftercare are discussed before treatment.
