Effectively Treat Osteoarthritis

Viscosupplementation injections are a fast and effective osteoarthritis treatment and involve injections of a hyaluronic acid solution into the knee joint.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring fluid of the healthy joint that acts as a lubricant and helps bones move effortlessly while simultaneously providing shock absorption for joint loads. It also seems to act as an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving agent.

Viscosupplementation injections are believed to stimulate the production of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid.

Viscosupplementation and You

At Athletic Edge Sports Medicine, we have administered viscosupplementation to relieve pain in many of our patients, and we are more than happy to meet with you to discuss your candidacy for the treatment. Depending on the source and resulting issues of your osteoarthritis, your Athletic Edge team member may suggest a treatment program that includes not only viscosupplementation but also physiotherapy and custom knee bracing.
