Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found in joint fluid that helps cushion and lubricate the joint. In osteoarthritis, HA levels decrease, leading to increased friction, stiffness, and pain.
HA injections, often referred to as “joint fillers” or viscosupplementation, restore lubrication within the joint, allowing smoother movement and improved shock absorption. This can result in decreased pain and better joint function.
HA injections are commonly used in the knee but can also be applied to other joints, offering a non-surgical option for patients seeking longer-lasting relief than oral medications.
