Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance that naturally exists within the body, rapresenting the main component of extra-cellular matrices. Deterioration of HA surrounding the joints leads to arthritis. As such, administration of hyaluronic injections is an option in patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis.
HA is particularly appealing to individuals who want to postpone or avoid joint replacement surgery, or who find more traditional medical interventions ineffective or insufficient. Additionally, HA injections are a natural alternative to painkillers and steroid injections.
What to Expect During the Therapy
Each session is performed under ultrasound guidance to ensure accurate needle placement and dynamic visualization throughout the procedure.
Comprehensive Evaluation
A detailed clinical and imaging evaluation is performed to assess joint health, degree of cartilage wear, and overall joint fluid balance.
Am I a Candidate?
Hyaluronic acid injections are ideal for individuals with mild to moderate osteoarthritis who have not achieved lasting relief from physical therapy, exercise, or weight management.
Benefits
Reduces joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation, improves joint lubrication and cushioning, enhances mobility and overall comfort, supports cartilage health and protects against further wear.
Treatment Frequency
Some patients experience improvement after a single HA injection, while others may benefit from a series of weekly sessions over one to five weeks. Relief is typically most noticeable four to six weeks after treatment and can last up to six months.
Recovery & Results
HA injections offer gradual, natural improvement as the treatment restores joint lubrication and reduces friction over time. Patients can expect increased comfort, smoother movement, and a decrease in joint pain within weeks.
