Hyaluronic Acid Injection (Viscosupplementation)

Hyaluronic Acid Injection (Viscosupplementation) is a non-surgical treatment used to relieve joint pain caused by osteoarthritis, particularly in the knees. This therapy involves injecting hyaluronic acid — a naturally occurring substance that provides lubrication and cushioning within the joints — directly into the affected area. As osteoarthritis progresses, the joint’s natural supply of hyaluronic acid diminishes, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Viscosupplementation helps restore the joint’s lubrication, allowing for smoother movement and pain relief. 

Commonly used products in this treatment include Cingal®, Durolane®, and Synvisc®, each offering a unique formulation designed to reduce inflammation and improve joint function. This treatment is safe, well tolerated, and ideal for patients looking to delay or avoid surgery and maintain an active lifestyle.
