Viscosupplement Injections >>>
Viscosupplement Injections: Overview
Viscosupplement injections are a non-surgical treatment designed to ease knee pain and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis. This procedure involves injecting hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that lubricates and cushions the joints directly into the knee.
By restoring lost lubrication, viscosupplement injections can reduce friction, improve mobility, and provide long-lasting pain relief. For many patients, this therapy offers an effective option when medications, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes have not provided enough relief.
What’s Causing Your Pain?
Knee pain from osteoarthritis develops when the protective cartilage that cushions the bones gradually wears down. As the cartilage thins, the bones begin to rub against each other, leading to stiffness, swelling, and discomfort. In addition, the joint fluid that normally lubricates and absorbs shock loses its thickness and effectiveness, making everyday movements more painful.
This loss of cushioning and lubrication is what often makes walking, climbing stairs, or even standing for long periods difficult. Viscosupplement injections help replace the lost fluid, restoring lubrication and reducing the friction that causes pain.
Signs You Should See a Specialist
If knee discomfort is interfering with your daily life, it may be time to consult a doctor about treatment options such as viscosupplement injections. Some common signs include:
- Persistent knee pain that lasts for weeks or months
- Stiffness or swelling that makes walking, climbing stairs, or standing difficult
- Pain that worsens with activity or after long periods of sitting or rest
- Grinding, clicking, or locking sensations in the knee
- Reduced range of motion or difficulty bending and straightening the leg
- Over-the-counter medications and home remedies no longer provide relief
