Viscosupplementation Q & A
What is Viscosupplementation?
Viscosupplementation is a safe and effective nonsurgical orthopedic care option for chronic joint pain. The procedure includes injections of hyaluronic acid, which you can find naturally in your body as it circulates through cell walls – this helps to revitalize loss cartilage between bones while also absorbing shocks from movements so they glide easier throughout time.
Using a fluoroscope to watch the needle move under X-ray, our doctor will inject a small amount of lubricating solution into the joint pain area – which depending on where you are having treatment can be a quick and easy procedure with no downtime. We use this type of injection because it’s an effective yet minimally invasive approach for treating knee and ankle pain.
