Long-Lasting Relief for Osteoarthritis

If you’re struggling with joint pain due to osteoarthritis, our Viscosupplement therapy may provide the relief you’re seeking. This non-surgical treatment involves injecting hyaluronic acid (HA)—a naturally occurring substance in the joints—directly into the affected area. The HA acts to enhance lubrication, reduce pain, and improve joint function. With a single injection, patients can experience relief for up to six months, making it a convenient option with minimal downtime.

Benefits of Viscosupplement Therapy

Who Is Suitable for Viscosupplement Therapy?

You may be a good candidate for this treatment if:

  1. You have been diagnosed with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.
  2. You are using pain medications but are seeking an alternative.
  3. You are not ready for surgery but want to explore other treatment options

Always consult your doctor to determine if this treatment is right for you.

How Long Does the Pain Relief Last?

Patients typically begin to feel relief 2-3 weeks after the injection, with the most noticeable improvement occurring between weeks 10 and 14. For those with mild to moderate osteoarthritis, relief can last up to six months, with some patients reporting continued improvement beyond that time.

Possible Side Effects

Common, short-term side effects may include redness, warmth, swelling, or slight discomfort at the injection site. These effects usually resolve within 48 hours. Applying a cold pack and limiting movement can help. If symptoms persist beyond seven days, please consult your doctor.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Your doctor may administer a small amount of local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. The injection process itself typically takes less than five minutes. Afterward, your doctor will gently mobilize the joint to ensure the HA is distributed evenly. You should be able to walk normally after the procedure but are advised to rest and minimize activity for 48 hours to allow the treatment to take full effect.

This comprehensive and convenient treatment can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and bring your joints back to life, giving you the freedom to move with confidence.
