This treatment is called viscosupplementation. It is FDA approved since 1996 to treat osteoarthritis of the Knee and Shoulder, and has been used to treat Thousands and thousands of patients. It is a thick lubricating gel that helps to coat your knee joint and create a cushion-like effect.
This gel is injected directly into the joint by a trained medical professional. Our clinic affiliates use a fluoroscopic x-ray device to ensure that the gel gets inside the correct area and with minimal pain.
The treatments are extremely effective and many patients have lasting effects for 6 months or more. Just like any medicine some patients do not get as much pain relief as others. But others report pain relief that lasts over a year. It all depends on the person and the progression of their arthritis.
Most insurance plans including Medicare cover these procedures. Your benefits will be checked prior to any treatment. Our Affiliated clinics provide a Free Knee Screening to ensure you are a candidate for treatment. At that time your benefits will be discussed.
