What is hyaluronic acid therapy?
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that occurs naturally in our bodies and plays an important role in synovial fluid, skin and connective tissue. This transparent and gel-like substance provides flexibility and lubrication to joints, moisturizes the skin and contributes to the strength of connective tissue. Hyaluronic acid therapy has gained importance in the field of orthopedics in recent years. This natural ingredient plays an important role in joint health and offers an effective treatment option for people with joint pain.
Hyaluronic acid therapy in orthopedics
Hyaluronic acid is used successfully in orthopedics to treat joint pain and improve joint function. In this method, which has become particularly popular in the treatment of osteoarthritis, hyaluronic acid is injected into the synovial fluid through intra-articular injections. The Hyaluronic acid therapy procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis and under local anesthesia. The injections are administered into the joint space or into damaged tissue. After the treatment, patients can usually go home immediately.
