Helping You Manage Knee Osteoarthritis Without Rushing Into Surgery
If knee pain is making it difficult to stay active or enjoy everyday activities, you may be exploring non-surgical treatment options. At Regenesis, we provide nSTRIDE injections in Manchester for suitable patients with knee osteoarthritis, following a thorough consultant-led assessment.
nSTRIDE, also known as Autologous Protein Solution (APS), is an advanced injection therapy that uses proteins concentrated from your own blood to help manage inflammation associated with knee osteoarthritis. For some patients, reducing inflammation within the joint may help relieve pain and improve mobility, making it easier to return to daily activities.
Every patient is different, which is why treatment always begins with a comprehensive assessment. Our consultants will review your symptoms, medical history, and any available imaging before recommending whether nSTRIDE or another treatment may be appropriate for your individual needs.

What Is nSTRIDE?
nSTRIDE helps manage the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. The treatment uses a sample of your own blood, which is processed using a specialised system to concentrate proteins, platelets, and anti-inflammatory cytokines before being injected into the affected knee.
Unlike treatments that focus solely on relieving pain, nSTRIDE aims to support the body’s natural response to inflammation within the joint. Although it does not reverse osteoarthritis or regenerate damaged cartilage, clinical studies suggest it may help reduce pain and improve knee function for appropriately selected patients.
Because the injection is prepared from your own blood, the risk of allergic or immune reactions is low. However, nSTRIDE is not suitable for everyone, which is why a clinical assessment is essential before treatment is recommended.
How Does an nSTRIDE Injection Work?
Your appointment begins with a small blood sample, similar to a routine blood test. The sample is then processed using the nSTRIDE APS system, which concentrates naturally occurring proteins and other blood components associated with regulating inflammation.
Once prepared, the Autologous Protein Solution is injected into the affected knee. The procedure is performed during the same appointment and does not require surgery.
The aim of treatment is to help reduce inflammation within the joint, which may improve pain, stiffness, and mobility over time. While every patient responds differently, improvements are often gradual rather than immediate.
As with all regenerative treatments offered at Regenesis, nSTRIDE is recommended only when our consultants believe it is an appropriate option based on your individual assessment.
Potential Benefits of nSTRIDE
For suitable patients with knee osteoarthritis, nSTRIDE may offer several potential benefits, including:
Helping to reduce pain caused by knee osteoarthritis
Helping to improve everyday mobility and joint function
Using proteins from your own blood to help regulate inflammation
Providing a minimally invasive alternative to surgery
Delivering treatment with a single injection where appropriate
Although many patients experience positive outcomes, results vary depending on factors such as the severity of osteoarthritis, overall joint health, and individual response to treatment.
What to Expect During Your nSTRIDE Treatment
Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your symptoms, medical history, and any available imaging. If nSTRIDE is considered an appropriate option, a small sample of your blood will be taken and processed using the nSTRIDE APS system during your appointment.
The prepared Autologous Protein Solution is then injected into the affected knee. As the procedure uses your own blood and does not involve surgery, most patients are able to return home shortly afterwards. Your consultant will explain what to expect during your recovery and provide personalised aftercare advice.
Recovery After an nSTRIDE Injection
Recovery following an nSTRIDE injection is generally straightforward, although every patient’s experience is different. Some people may notice temporary discomfort around the injection site before symptoms begin to improve.
As the treatment aims to help regulate inflammation within the joint, improvements are often gradual rather than immediate. Your consultant will discuss realistic expectations based on your individual condition and advise when you can safely return to your usual activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is nSTRIDE?
nSTRIDE is an Autologous Protein Solution (APS) created from a sample of your own blood. It is designed to help manage inflammation associated with knee osteoarthritis and may help reduce pain and improve joint function for suitable patients.
Who may be suitable for an nSTRIDE knee injection?
An nSTRIDE knee injection may be suitable for people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis who continue to experience pain despite conservative treatment. During your consultation, your consultant will assess your symptoms and determine whether nSTRIDE or another knee injection treatment is the most appropriate treatment for your individual needs.
How is nSTRIDE different from PRP?
Both nSTRIDE and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) use your own blood, but they are processed differently. PRP mainly concentrates platelets and growth factors, while nSTRIDE creates an Autologous Protein Solution (APS) with a higher concentration of anti-inflammatory proteins. If you’re considering an APS injection for the knee, your consultant will explain which treatment may be more suitable for your individual condition.
How much does an nSTRIDE injection cost in the UK?
The nSTRIDE injection cost in the UK varies depending on your treatment plan and individual requirements. During your consultation, we’ll explain the expected costs and answer any questions you may have. You can also view our fees page for more information.
