Treatment for Arthritis can help to relieve the everyday pain. When knee pain occurs, it is referred to as osteoarthritis. Different injections such as Genvisc 850 and hyaluronic acid can be useful in helping to relieve the pain. Benefits of our treatment include:
Arthritis causes an inflammation of the joints which makes it difficult to function on a regular basis. With multiple types and forms of Arthritis, it is ultimately best to consult with a professional who can help evaluate the patient for a treatment plan. We will review the patient's current condition and medical history with arthritis as well as any other medical conditions.
With this information, we will develop a customized treatment plan. We will identify the source and location of arthritis through testing and recommend treatment.
Each arthritis treatment plan varies depending on the type, the severity and the preferences of the patient. However, each treatment has the main goal of relieving discomfort so that one can function normally and healthily.
Some notable arthritis treatments are injections such as hyaluronic acid ones. Genvisc 850 is also offered by our office due to the significant effect it can have on patients. We can help patients learn to manage their condition and find lasting pain relief.
Genvisc 850
This specific type of Arthritis treatment is also used for knee pain. It is administered by a medical specialist via intra-articular injection. This means that we will insert a needle into the area of the knee containing the fluid buildup. The Genvisc 850 will help to reduce pain in the area that cushions the joint.
Hyaluronic acid Injections
We typically recommend injecting hyaluronic acid after the patient tries other pain medications to limited results. When over-the-counter pain relievers are ineffective, this treatment is another option. The substance in hyaluronic acid injections is quite similar to a natural one that is in the body already.
Acting as a lubricant and shock absorber in the joints, the acid helps the joints work properly. The type of treatment we recommend for the patient will help the patient recover. Along with that, we may recommend other lifestyle changes that can help further recovery and lasting relief from pain that hinders daily activity.
A lot of people struggle each day with one of the various forms of arthritis. However, with the help of our office, you can receive treatment that will help relieve the pain. We are happy to consult with you so that we can determine how we can best help you.
