What is Hyaluronic Acid for Joints?

Definition

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance present in the synovial fluid of joints that acts as a lubricant and shock absorber. With age and joint wear, this substance decreases. Viscosupplementation consists of injecting high-quality hyaluronic acid directly into the joint to restore its lubricating and protective properties.

Physiological Benefit

Hyaluronic acid reduces friction between bones, improves cartilage elasticity, has anti-inflammatory properties and protects cartilage cells from wear. It is especially effective in knee, hip, shoulder and other weight-bearing joint osteoarthritis. Additionally, it is useful in managing pes anserine, greater trochanteric and shoulder bursitis.

How It Works

It is infiltrated by direct injection into the affected joint, guided by ultrasound for maximum precision. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid forms a protective layer on the cartilage, reduces inflammation and stimulates natural production of better quality synovial fluid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We're here to help

Specific answers about this treatment to resolve your doubts

"We are here to answer all your questions."

How many hyaluronic acid injections do I need?

It depends on the degree of osteoarthritis and the product used. Protocols range from a single injection (high-density products) to 3-5 weekly injections (standard products). Your doctor will determine the best protocol for your case.

Is the hyaluronic acid injection painful?

The infiltration is performed with local anesthesia, so discomfort is minimal. There may be slight swelling or discomfort for the first 24-48 hours, managed with local ice. Most patients resume normal activities the next day.

How long does the effect of hyaluronic acid last?

The beneficial effect typically lasts between 6-12 months. Some patients experience relief for up to 18 months. The treatment can be repeated when symptoms reappear, generally once a year. It is important to remember that hyaluronic acid does not regenerate cartilage, but it helps improve pain, mobility, and quality of life, allowing the patient to perform daily activities more comfortably. The duration of benefit can also improve when treatment is combined with therapeutic exercise, weight control, and other measures recommended by the specialist.
