Osteoarthritis injections

Do any of the UK private clinics do hyaluronic acid injections for knee joint pain / osteoarthritis (for example Synocrom)? It's not approved by NICE ("not been demonstrated to be clinically significant in an appreciable number of patients") but has helped my mum in the past.

I don't know of a private clinic but my NHS physiotherapist gives me an injection each winter on the NHS. I can just about manage in warmer weather without.

Sorry I think my injection is called something else. I've forgotten what it is. I was given a leaflet but I think I've thrown it away now.

Thank you for replying!
You can get steroid injections (cortisone) on the NHS, so it’s most likely that. It’s different to hyaluronic acid.
