Euflexxa for management of Osteoarthritis

Non-surgical relief for joint pain — now available at Nepean Radiology

Restore Movement. Reduce Pain. Refer with Confidence.

Nepean Radiology is excited to offer Euflexxa, an advanced, non-surgical treatment option for patients suffering from early-stage mild to moderate osteoarthritis (OA). Administered by our experienced radiologists under Ultrasound or Ultra-Low Dose CT guidance, Euflexxa is available as a bulk billed service, ensuring accessible and timely treatment for our patients.

What is Euflexxa?

Euflexxa is a hyaluronic acid injection designed to mimic the body’s natural joint fluid. It lubricates and cushions the joint, relieving pain and improving mobility.1-2 Beyond mechanical support, Euflexxa has demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects, cartilage protection, and can stimulate the body’s own production of hyaluronic acid — helping to slow the progression of OA.2-3

Who is Euflexxa Suitable For?

Euflexxa is ideal for patients with:

  • Mild to moderate osteoarthritis who have not responded to physiotherapy or oral pain medications
  • Chronic OA, including patients who are not candidates for cortisone injections (e.g. those with uncontrolled diabetes)
  • Joint pain in the knee, hip, ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow, or wrist

Euflexxa may also be used in conjunction with cortisone for long-term OA management.

Treatment Process

  •  Administered as a series of three injections, spaced one to two weeks apart
  • Performed by our expert radiologists under precise image guidance (Ultrasound or CT)
  • Minimal downtime with most patients resuming normal activities shortly after treatment (abstaining from physical exertion and excessive activity immediately post treatment).

Why Choose Euflexxa?

Compared to cortisone and single-dose similar products, Euflexxa offers:

  • Longer-lasting symptom relief due to its multi-dose regimen3-4
  • Higher safety profile with fewer systemic side effects4
  • Improved joint retention time, resulting in more sustained benefit4
  • Non-animal origin, reducing the risk of allergic reaction4

Possible Side Effects

Some patients may experience mild swelling, stiffness, or pain at the injection site, which are short terms and typically resolve with rest and ice application.
