Osteoarthritis is a common condition affecting millions of people, often causing joint pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. If you’re one of the many searching for relief, hyaluronic acid (HA) injections could be the solution you’ve been looking for. At Ross Medical Group, our sports medicine team specializes in advanced treatments like HA injections to help you regain your quality of life.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections Q&A

What Is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in your body, particularly in your joint fluid. It acts as a lubricant and shock absorber, allowing your joints to move smoothly. However, in osteoarthritis, the level and quality of hyaluronic acid in the joints decrease, leading to pain and inflammation.

How Do Hyaluronic Acid Injections Work?

HA injections, also called viscosupplementation, involve injecting a gel-like solution directly into the affected joint. This:

Restores lubrication and cushioning in the joint.
Reduces pain and inflammation.
Improves joint mobility and function.

Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Hyaluronic acid injections are particularly effective for people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis who haven’t found relief through oral medications, physical therapy, or other non-surgical options. Benefits include:

Non-surgical solution: HA injections are minimally invasive, making them a great alternative to surgery.
Long-lasting relief: Many patients experience symptom relief for several months after treatment.
Targeted treatment: The injections focus directly on the problem area, providing localized relief.

Are You a Candidate?

HA injections are typically recommended for individuals with knee osteoarthritis, though they can also benefit other joints like the hip, shoulder, or ankle. They may be suitable if:

You’ve tried other treatments without significant relief.
You’re not ready or able to undergo joint replacement surgery.
You’re looking for a non-opioid pain management option.
