One alternative to knee replacement surgery is injections. Viscosupplementation, is just one of several injection methods individuals can choose as an alternative to knee replacement surgery.
Viscosupplementation or Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections are designed to cushion and lubricate the knee joint. Benefits from this form of injection include: reduction in pain and increased mobility. Though this alternative can prove effective, viscosupplementation will not cure arthritis or repair damaged cartilage in your knee. Side effects from this procedure are generally mild and usually do not last for a long period of time.
