Long-lasting relief for knee osteoarthritis: What to know about Arthrosamid® treatment in Victoria, Canada
Living with knee osteoarthritis can turn everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or travelling, into a constant challenge. Managing knee osteoarthritis is a lot.
Arthrosamid® injections are an opportunity to get back to life. This cutting-edge, non-surgical, injectable hydrogel implant is designed to deliver long-lasting, pain relief. Welcoming both Canadian and American patients, Arbutus provides accessible care tailored to locals and medical travellers.
What is Arthrosamid® and how does treatment work?
Arthrosamid® is an outpatient injectable that cushions and supports the osteoarthritic knee joint, helping reduce pain and stiffness while improving mobility. Patients experience minimal downtime compared to surgical interventions.
Treatments are performed by Dr. Alex Del Duca, ND, RMSK, a Naturopathic Physician with a clinical focus on pain management and sports medicine-based interventional therapies. Every Arthrosamid® injection is administered using ultrasound guidance. This technology allows Dr. Del Duca to directly visualize the knee joint anatomy and guide the needle into the exact location needed.

Arthrosamid® is an outpatient procedure with minimal downtime. Most patients can return to light daily activities shortly after treatment.
- First 24–72 hours: Mild knee soreness, stiffness, or swelling may occur. Light walking is encouraged.
- First week: Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, hiking, and running.
- Treatment results: Improvement may develop gradually over several weeks, with individual results varying.
