Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Millions of Americans suffer from joint pain, which can be severely debilitating and negatively affect daily life. It often stops people from being as active as possible and can even make simple tasks impossible.

Hyaluronic acid is a gel-like substance found naturally in the joints of our body. It is the main component in the synovial fluid that lubricates joints. Hyaluronic acid can deplete over time, causing severe joint pain. At Advanced Health & Wellness Center, we offer our patients a treatment that goes beyond pills or surgery. Depending on the severity of the pain, we may ease your joint pain with hyaluronic acid injections.

What Conditions May This Treatment Help

Hyaluronic acid injections can help reduce inflammation and allow patients to experience little to no symptoms for months. Hyaluronic acid injections may improve a wide range of conditions, including:

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Chronic Knee Pain

How Hyaluronic Acid Injections Work

Conditions like osteoarthritis wear away your cartilage and synovial lining, causing inflammation and pain. Hyaluronic acid injections help increase the viscosity of synovial fluid through a process called visco-supplementation. This process can help make the joint less painful because the hyaluronic acid helps cushion and lubricate your joints allowing bones to move against each other with less friction.

At Advanced Health & Wellness Center, we will begin with a thorough consultation and Evaluation to identify the cause of your joint pain in order to prescribe the most effective treatment plan. So, if you have been dealing with osteoarthritis or any other degenerative conditions, we may help you figure out if hyaluronic acid injections can relieve your pain. We may provide a treatment plan and get you started on a path to a pain-free life. Give our office a call today at (330) 583-5530.
