What is Hyaluronic Acid Injection (Viscosupplementation)?

Injections of hyaluronic acid (also known as “HA”, this procedure is also called “viscosupplementation”) involves injecting a lubricating and shock-absorbing substance that can help to reduce pain and swelling in arthritic joints (especially knees) and over time can help to preserve joint health.

The most common areas for viscosupplementation of hyaluronic acid include: knee, thumb, big toe, shoulder, and in some cases also specific tendon/ligament injuries.

How Do Hyaluronic Acid Injections Work?

The bones that make up your joints normally have a cap of cartilage on their ends. This cartilage helps make sure that your bones move smoothly against each other.

Cartilage has a fluid coating that contains hyaluronic acid and functions as a lubricant and shock absorber for the joint. As a result of normal aging processes and also in instances of osteoarthritis, the cartilage cap breaks down eventually leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling.

The idea behind viscosupplementation is that by replacing this hyaluronic acid we can replenish the lubricant in our joints and reduce these symptoms related to joint degeneration..

I'd tried physio for the first time at another practice a few months ago and left very underwhelmed. A friend peer-pressured me into giving it another go with their practitioner, Mary Wong Colebrook.. what a difference. Took the time to explain what was going on with my back, laid out a plan as to how we're going to remedy it, used every minute of my appointment. Highly recommended.read more

Prior to today (1 year ago) I had a number of visits with Ian regarding a hip injury and found him to be very thorough in treating the injury and taking the time to explain how the treatments and exercises were going to help me.Today was my first visit for another injury and Ian was great in describing the possible reasons for my problem and his thoroughness in his first treatment and also his concern and direction in telling me to contact my doctor to order up some exams to make sure some of his concerns were looked into further.Thanks Ianread more
