HA for Knees and Joints
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body that is found in high concentrations in joint fluids and the skin. It plays a crucial role in lubricating and cushioning the joints.
HA Injections for Knees and Joints
HA injections are a medical treatment used to alleviate pain and improve joint function in conditions like osteoarthritis. This treatment involves injecting a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid directly into the affected joint.
Procedure
The HA injection procedure for knees and joints generally includes the following steps:
- Cleaning the injection site to minimize the risk of infection.
- Local anesthesia may be administered to numb the area, but this varies depending on the specific protocol and patient preference.
- The healthcare provider injects the HA solution directly into the joint space using a sterile needle.
- The needle is removed, and the injection site is typically covered with a bandage.
How HA Works
Hyaluronic acid injections work by providing lubrication and cushioning to the joint, reducing pain and improving mobility. HA may also have anti-inflammatory effects.
