Arthritis VIP focuses on treatments like PRP, Endoret PRGF, prolotherapy, and cell therapy, mainly for osteoarthritis in joints like knees, hips, shoulders, and hands. They have a 90% clinical success rate backed by two-year outcome tracking.

What we love most is how there’s a whole team involved in the treatment. You can expect to see a pain doctor, physiotherapist, dietician, and even a psychotherapist, depending on what’s going on. 

They also use advanced tools like real-time ultrasound and run their own lab. They were even the first in Canada to offer Endoret ORGF, which is a newer, more refined version of PRP.

It’s also worth mentioning that you don’t need a referral to receive treatment at the clinic. On top of that, thanks to their streamlined process, you can easily start with assessments within one to three weeks—quite speedy compared to others. 

Just note that they’re closed on weekends, but their online booking system makes that pretty straightforward. Still, if you’re after a holistic approach to treating osteoarthritis, Arthritis VIP is worth checking out.

Experienced dramatic improvements

“…What truly amazed me was the results. Within just 48 hours of my first session, I experienced dramatic improvements. Dr. Hawass has a rare combination of expertise, clarity, and compassion, and I am so grateful for the positive impact he’s had on my well-being. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands pain management and delivers real results, look no further.”

Hyper Regen Sports Medicine feels more like a joint-care hub than just an injection clinic. They handle everything from figuring out what’s wrong to managing it without surgery, or with minimally invasive procedures if needed.

For osteoarthritis, especially in the early to mid-stages, they often use viscosupplementation. This option helps reduce joint friction and irritation.

They also bring in other supports like bracing, hands-on therapy, movement programs, and even advice on nutrition and pain strategies. 

One of the best things is how everything happens under one roof. You don’t need to bounce between clinics for scans, consults, or therapy, saving you from wait time and confusion. 

On the flip side, a lot of their treatment is tailored to the needs of athletes or physically active folks. If your OA is advanced or you’re older and have broader health issues, the setup might feel a little performance-focused.

Nonetheless, we like how their rehab programs and injection strategies are geared toward joint preservation and performance, not just pain management.

Happy with the results 

“I went to Hyper Regen for a PRP treatment and I am extremely impressed and happy with the results. Dr. Jas was professional and very informative. I am very satisfied with the work and I would highly recommend this clinic.”

If you’re looking to manage osteoarthritis without the private-clinic price tag, Wilderman Medical Clinic is worth checking out. Most of what they do is OHIP-covered if you have a referral.

That includes everything from diagnostic imaging and physio to psychotherapy and guided injections, which makes the place feel more like a full-care setup than just a specialist office.

They also do ultrasound-guided injections on-site, like PRP, cortisone, hyaluronic acid, and prolotherapy. And if convenience matters, they offer Cignal, a single-shot mix of steroid and HA designed for quick relief and lasting impact. 

We also love that after treatments, they don’t just send you off; they provide follow-up care like guided exercises, posture advice, biofeedback, TENS therapy, orthotics, and psychological support to help manage OA long term.

The catch? You’ll need a doctor’s referral, and wait times aren’t always short, especially if you’re hoping to get in quickly. But hey, if you’re okay with the process, it’s a way to access broad, up-to-date OA care without paying out of pocket. 

Quick and relatively painless 

“This was a great experience for me! I have had pain for over a decade. I’ve tried everything!! I heard there was an ultrasound guided injection from my physiotherapist. At the point of opting for surgery I gave it a try. It’s only been less than a week but the pain is substantially less. I was told it takes a couple of weeks. I highly recommend the Wilderman clinic! The entire staff are very professional and welcoming. Everything was clearly explained. Quick and relatively painless.”

Dr. Jihad Abouali’s clinic keeps things focused. He offers joint injections like PRP, nSTRIDE, and hyaluronic acid, all done with ultrasound guidance to help reduce pain and inflammation without jumping to surgery. 

But it’s not just about getting a shot and leaving. The treatment often comes with physiotherapy, strength work, and bracing as part of a longer-term plan.

It’s also neat that for people with moderate osteoarthritis, there’s also the option of going for nanoscale arthroscopy, or “Nanoscope,” providing a less invasive way to inspect and treat the joint, with quicker recovery than traditional surgery.

On the lifestyle side, he talks to patients about things like diet and weight—whether that’s anti-inflammatory eating or intermittent fasting—because those choices matter when managing a chronic joint issue. 

The hitch is you’ll need a doctor’s referral, and the clinic sticks to weekday hours. Regardless, if you want one person to walk you through injections, rehab, and maybe even surgical procedures down the line, this clinic is a solid pick.

Successful surgery with quick recovery

“I had a knee arthroscopy performed by Dr. Abouali about a week ago. If anyone needs a knee related surgery, I highly recommend him as an orthopedic surgeon. He is professional, experienced, and is respectful to his patients. His experience and advanced technique allow for a successful surgery with quick recovery. Dr. Abouali is an excellent and talented surgeon who is committed to ensuring that his patients are left satisfied.”

Talented surgeon

Orthopaedic Rehabilitation Institute (ORI) was set up by surgeons and a pain specialist, so their team covers both sides of OA care—surgical and non-surgical management. They treat common problem areas like knees, hips, shoulders, and the spine using research-backed approaches.

They don’t just stick to one type of treatment. You’ll find bracing, rehab, image-guided injections (like PRP, prolotherapy, steroids), and when needed, nerve blocks or aspirations to manage swelling or stiffness more directly. 

Another plus is how most services happen onsite. If you need physiotherapy, chiropractic, occupational therapy, or rehab equipment after a procedure, then it’s usually available without needing to jump through hoops elsewhere. 

But we’re a bit iffy after hearing some patients mention the referral processing delays and unexpected costs, which can be frustrating if you’re looking for fast, budget-conscious care.

On a positive note, they take both OHIP and private coverage, so there’s some flexibility, depending on your situation.

Clinic runs efficiently
