As knee arthritis progresses, the natural cushioning and lubrication inside the joint may decrease, leading to pain and stiffness.
What Is Viscosupplementation?
Viscosupplementation is a minimally invasive treatment that uses hyaluronic acid injections to help improve lubrication inside the knee joint.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in healthy joint fluid. In arthritic knees, this cushioning fluid may decrease over time.
Gel shots are designed to help:
improve joint lubrication
support smoother movement
reduce friction within the joint
improve comfort during daily activities

Joint stiffness
Degenerative knee conditions

Inject Hyaluronic Acid
The gel-like solution is carefully injected into the knee joint.
