Intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection is a modern, safe, and effective treatment option for patients experiencing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility due to osteoarthritis or degenerative joint conditions.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of synovial fluid that acts as a lubricant and shock absorber within the joint. Over time, or as a result of cartilage degeneration, both the quantity and quality of hyaluronic acid decrease, leading to increased friction, inflammation, and pain.
The treatment aims to restore the normal properties of the synovial fluid, improving joint lubrication and reducing symptoms. Therapeutic injections can be administered to the knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, and other joints, depending on the patient’s needs.
Benefits of the Treatment
The procedure is performed in our clinic, is minimally invasive, and usually takes only a few minutes. In selected cases, the injection is performed under ultrasound guidance to ensure maximum accuracy and safety.
The treatment is always recommended following a specialized orthopedic evaluation and is tailored to the individual needs and stage of the condition of each patient.
