Knee Injection Therapy, also called viscosupplementation, is a non-invasive procedure involving the injection of a gel-like substance (Hyaluronan) into the joint. This procedure is often used to treat Osteoarthritis by increasing the amount of nutrients present in synovial fluid, the fluid in your joints that feed and nourish joint cartilage. The nutrients in Hyaluronan are a natural component of human tissue and are important to the body’s flexibility and mobility.
Extensive research shows that Hyaluronan injections are highly effective in alleviating chronic knee pain. The injections work to supplement the viscous properties of the synovial fluid of the knee, restoring elasticity, lubrication and mobility of the affected joint. If you have been told you need knee surgery or a total knee replacement, knee injection therapy may be an effective alternative, preventing or postponing the need for more invasive procedures.
