Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Care

Hyaluronic (Gel) Injections

Viscosupplementation that cushions and lubricates arthritic joints.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of joint fluid. In arthritis, its quality and quantity decline, and the joint loses cushioning.

Gel injections supplement that fluid to improve comfort and movement, most commonly in the knee, and are often used for patients hoping to delay joint replacement.
