Hyaluronic Acid Injections

         Request an Appointment

Knee pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility from osteoarthritis, or joint degeneration, hyaluronic acid (HA) injections may offer a natural cushion or relief, right where your joints need it most.

What Are HA Injections?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in your joint fluid, responsible for cushioning and lubricating your joints. Over time, or with conditions like osteoarthritis, your body produces less of it, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility.

Hyaluronic acid injections, deliver a concentrated form of HA directly into the affected joint to restore lubrication, reduce friction, and support better joint movement.

How Do HA Injections Work?

Hyaluronic acid is injected into the joint, acting as a shock absorber, coating and cushioning the joint surfaces. HA can reduce joint pain and stiffness, improve range of motion and comfort during movement, help your body restore a healthier joint environment, and support tissue healing over time in combination with other regenerative therapies.

Some patients feel relief after a single session, while others may benefit from a series of 1 to 3 injections spaced over several weeks.

What Conditions Can HA Help?

  • Knee osteoarthritis
  • Degenerative joint changes
  • Pain with walking, bending, or exercise

HA therapy is especially helpful for those wanting to delay or avoid surgery, prefer non-steroidal, and regenerative approach to joint care.

What To Expect During Treatment?

  • HA injections are an in-office treatment
  • HA is injected into the area of pain using image guidance
  • No downtime is required, though we recommend avoiding high-impact activity for 24-48 hours
  • Relief can last from several months to a year, depending on activity level, joint health, and overall treatment
