Written By Natural Healing Arts Medical on February 28, 2018

Knee pain is a crippling injury that affects far too many adults in the world today. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the knee is linked to almost a fifth of all chronic pain cases in the country.

For millions, invasive surgery is seen as the only option to find relief. However, an innovative treatment that we offer at the Natural Healing Arts Medical Center might help you find knee relief you never dreamed possible, without a recovery period. Keep reading so that you can learn how to avoid knee surgery with hyalgan injections.

What are Hyalgan Injections?

Put simply, hyalgan is a solution primarily consisting of a natural substance called hyaluronate. In a healthy knee, hyaluronate lubricates and cushions the joint to prevent pain and grinding. Aging, arthritis, and a range of other conditions can cause your hyaluronate supply to dwindle, leading to long-term discomfort and sharp pain.

To combat this problem, hyalgan is injected directly into the knee to relubricate the joint and provide extra cushioning. Unlike oral pain medications that merely treat the symptoms of your pain, hyalgan gets right to the source of the problem to help you experience long-term pain relief. There’s no waiting for the medication to travel through your bloodstream to work; hyalgan is effective almost immediately.

What Causes Osteoporosis?

As the most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis is a condition where the lubricants in your joints deteriorate, leading to pain over time. Many conditions can increase your risk of developing osteoarthritis, including aging, obesity, and previous sports injuries. A common characteristic of osteoarthritis is a loss of joint cartilage. Losing this protective cushion can be debilitating, especially in high-impact joints like the knee.

If you struggle with chronic knee pain, the odds are good that your doctor will recommend knee surgery to combat the symptoms osteoporosis. Hylagan provides an alternative way to get relief by combating the cause of osteoporosis and keeping your joints lubricated and more comfortable to move.
