Hyaluronic Acid Injection
Viscosupplementation for lubricating joints and reducing arthritis pain.
Detailed Overview
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the synovial fluid that surrounds your joints. In a healthy joint, this fluid is thick and slippery, providing lubrication and cushioning. However, in patients with osteoarthritis, the hyaluronic acid thins out, leading to bone-on-bone friction and pain. Viscosupplementation therapy restores this balance by injecting high-quality hyaluronic acid directly into the joint space. This "greases the gears" of the joint, allowing for smoother, pain-free movement. It also has mild anti-inflammatory properties and can stimulate the body to produce more of its own natural lubricant, providing relief that can last for several months.
