Viscosupplementation Injections

Visco supplementation injections involve replacing the inflamed joint fluid from inside the joint capsule with a synthetically prepared fluid containing hyaluronic acid. This procedure is mostly done in the knee joint for individuals who suffer from the painful symptoms of osteoarthritis. The doctor will aspirate the inflammatory fluid from the joint and inject a gel-like supplement into that space. It acts as a lubricant and helps with motion.
