What is Hyaluronic Acid Injection?

Hyaluronic acid injection, also known as viscosupplementation, is a treatment designed to restore the natural lubricating properties of your joints. This therapy is particularly effective for patients with osteoarthritis who have lower-than-normal concentrations of hyaluronic acid in their joints.

By supplementing your joint with hyaluronic acid, we can improve mechanical function, reduce pain, and enhance overall joint mobility. When combined with PRP therapy, the benefits are further amplified through synergistic regenerative effects.

Outcomes of Hyaluronic Acid Injection

Understanding the science behind hyaluronic acid therapy and its effects on joint health.

Natural Substance

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance (glycosaminoglycan) found in the synovial fluid surrounding joints.

Joint Lubrication

Acts as a lubricant to enable bones to move smoothly over each other and as a shock absorber for joint loads.

Enhanced Properties

Increases mechanical and viscoelastic properties of the synovial fluid in the affected region and increases overall joint lubrication.

Addresses Deficiency

Patients with osteoarthritis have a lower-than-normal concentration of hyaluronic acid in their joints.

Pain Relief

Adding hyaluronic acid to the arthritic joint will facilitate movement and reduce pain.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Hyaluronic acid has shown effects on reducing inflammation in affected joints.
