Viscosupplementation is an innovative treatment used to relieve pain and improve mobility in joints affected by osteoarthritis and other joint conditions. Performed under ultrasound guidance, this technique ensures precise and safe application of the product.

Viscosupplementation under ultrasound guidance.

This treatment involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the joints, which acts as a lubricant and shock absorber. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in synovial fluid, responsible for keeping the joint healthy and functioning properly. With the degradation of synovial fluid, the joint can become painful and stiff. Viscosupplementation helps restore this lubrication, alleviating symptoms and improving joint function.

Benefits

Improved Precision: The use of ultrasound allows real-time visualization of the joint, ensuring that hyaluronic acid is injected exactly where needed, enhancing the treatment's effectiveness.
Lower Risk of Complications: The precise visualization during the procedure minimizes the risk of damage to surrounding structures and provides greater safety for the patient.
Long-lasting relief: Many patients report significant pain reduction and improved mobility for an extended period after treatment, allowing for a quicker return to their daily activities.

Who can benefit?

Viscosupplementation is especially indicated for patients with osteoarthritis, meniscal injuries (e.g., meniscus tear or meniscal degeneration), chondromalacia, and other joint injuries.
