Hyaluronic acid injection/viscosupplementation

Hyaluronic Acid Injection / Viscosupplementation

Are you suffering from arthritis in your foot or ankle and considering hyaluronic acid injection to relieve your symptoms? Our podiatrists at Clinique Mon Podiatre specialize in this treatment and are here to evaluate your condition and tailor a treatment plan to your needs.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in synovial fluid, which lubricates joints. As we age, the quantity and quality of synovial fluid decrease, leading to reduced elasticity and lubrication capacity.

Hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the affected joint. This procedure aims to reintroduce a substance similar to synovial fluid, thereby improving lubrication and reducing friction. Typically, injections can provide pain relief and alleviate osteoarthritis symptoms for several months. This allows patients to improve their quality of life and reduce reliance on oral painkillers. By lubricating the joint, hyaluronic acid injections facilitate smoother movement, improve joint function, and reduce stiffness.

By reducing friction and enhancing lubrication, these injections can help prevent further joint degradation, preserving joint integrity and slowing down the progression of osteoarthritis.

Hyaluronic acid injections are particularly beneficial for patients experiencing arthritis symptoms such as:

•  Chronic joint pain
• Joint stiffness
• Reduced mobility
• Inadequate response to conventional treatments

Injectable hyaluronic acid is an effective therapeutic option for relieving arthritis symptoms by lubricating joints, reducing friction, improving movement, and slowing disease progression.

If you’re suffering from arthritis and conventional treatments aren’t effective enough, schedule an appointment today to discuss your treatment options and effectively relieve your pain.
