The Benefits of Viscosupplementation

Viscosupplementation

Joint pain can bring your life to a grinding halt and make even the most basic tasks unbearable. This type of discomfort is caused by many different medical issues, and that includes arthritis. Viscosupplementation is a cutting-edge treatment that allows us to minimize joint pain and improve your mobility without making any incisions near your joints. Here is a quick look at some of the amazing benefits of viscosupplementation and a few signs that it might be right for you.

Understanding Arthritis

Arthritis is a catch-all term that is used to describe a wide variety of medical conditions that affect the joints. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common forms of arthritis, and experts believe that around 27 million Americans suffer from this condition. Viscosupplementation can be used to treat a few different types of arthritis, but it is particularly effective at mitigating the side effects of osteoarthritis. Over time, many of these joint conditions break down the protective cartilage around the bones and make it difficult to move.

An Overview of Viscosupplementation

Your joints are naturally lubricated by a unique substance known as hyaluronic acid. This viscous material allows your bones to glide over one another without damaging any of the cartilage. During a viscosupplementation procedure, one of our team members will inject a small dose of hyaluronic acid directly into the affected joint. This treatment can be carried out on almost any joint including the shoulders, elbows, knees, and wrists.

What are the Benefits?

This treatment is an excellent option if you aren’t quite ready to undergo an invasive procedure. Joint surgery can be extremely effective, but recovering from those operations often takes two weeks or longer. In addition to being non-surgical, viscosupplementation might also drastically reduce the general discomfort that you feel every day. In the weeks following your treatment, many of the side effects of your arthritis should lessen or completely disappear.

You might want to consider viscosupplementation if other non-surgical treatments haven’t improved your arthritis. This procedure can also be combined with other techniques to further reduce discomfort and increase mobility.

During your consultation with our team at Phoenix Regenerative Medicine in Phoenix, we will carefully look at your health and medical history to make sure that you are a good candidate for this procedure. Contact us today to book an appointment and get started!
