What to expect?

During the procedure, your healthcare provider will clean the area around the affected joint. The hyaluronic acid is then injected into the joint space. The process is typically quick, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. Some individuals may require a series of injections over a period of a year , depending on the specific product used and the severity of the condition. After the injection, it’s advisable to avoid strenuous activities for a short period to allow the joint to settle. Common side effects are generally mild and may include temporary pain or swelling at the injection site. Serious complications are rare but can include infection or allergic reactions, which will be discussed in the session with you. ​

Hyaluronic acid acts as a lubricant and shock absorber within the joint, facilitating smoother movement and reducing friction between cartilage surfaces. In osteoarthritic joints, the natural concentration of hyaluronic acid is often diminished, leading to increased stiffness and pain. By supplementing the joint with additional hyaluronic acid, the injections aim to restore the viscoelastic properties of the synovial fluid, thereby improving joint function and alleviating symptoms. The effectiveness of this treatment can vary among individuals, with some experiencing significant relief while others may notice minimal improvement.
