Hyaluronic Acid Therapy
Natural joint lubrication for arthritis. Hyaluronic acid injections can relieve pain and improve mobility.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of synovial fluid and cartilage. It acts as a lubricant and shock absorber for our joints.
In arthritis, the concentration and quality of hyaluronic acid in the joint decreases. Injection of high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid can improve joint lubrication and protect the cartilage.
The treatment can relieve pain, improve mobility and slow the progression of arthritis - often delaying or avoiding surgery.
Mechanism of Action
- Lubrication: Improves the sliding ability of joint surfaces
- Shock Absorption: Buffers loads and protects cartilage
- Anti-inflammatory: Reduces inflammatory reactions in the joint
- Cartilage Nutrition: Improves the supply to cartilage tissue
