Viscosupplementation support is a medical treatment that involves injecting hyaluronic acid into a joint to improve lubrication, reduce pain, and promote healing. This treatment is commonly used for individuals with osteoarthritis or joint degeneration, particularly in the knee, to improve joint function and reduce discomfort. Hyaluronic acid acts as a lubricant and shock absorber within the joint, restoring normal joint mechanics and alleviating symptoms of arthritis.
Viscosupplementation is typically performed in a series of injections over several weeks. The treatment can improve mobility, reduce pain, and delay the need for more invasive interventions, such as surgery.
Viscosupplementation support is an effective option for individuals with joint degeneration, helping to improve quality of life and maintain functional independence.
