What Does Hyaluronic Acid Injections Treat?
Knee osteoarthritis slowly destroys knee bone and cartilage and decreases hyaluronic acid concentration in the joint fluid. This is important because hyaluronic acid helps lubricate the joint, allowing it to move easily without pain or bone on bone rubbing. Symptoms patients should be aware of include:
Pain
Stiffness
Swelling
Nonsurgical treatment options effectively treat mild cases of knee osteoarthritis. Some moderate to severe cases of knee osteoarthritis may not respond to nonsurgical treatment and hyaluronic acid injections may be recommended. Patients who experience symptoms are encouraged to make an appointment.
