Hyaluronic acid injections are a modern treatment designed to help reduce joint pain and stiffness, especially for people living with joint pain such as osteoarthritis or chronic tendon issues.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally occurs in your joints, acting like a lubricant and shock absorber to help them move smoothly. Over time, this can decrease, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
By carefully injecting hyaluronic acid back into the joint, we can help restore this natural cushioning, allowing for more comfortable movement and pain relief.
They are most commonly used for people with osteoarthritis or chronic tendon/ joint pain who are looking to reduce discomfort and improve mobility.
This treatment may be especially helpful for those who are not ready for or wish to delay surgery, want to keep active for work or sport, or are looking for a gentler alternative to steroids.
If you are struggling with joint pain that’s affecting your daily activities, hyaluronic acid injections could be a safe and effective option to help you move more freely and confidently.
Most people notice an improvement in their pain and mobility within a few weeks, and the benefits can last for several months. Most patients find relief for up to 6–12 months, depending on their joint and level of activity.
Steroid injections can provide short-term relief but have been shown to progress the levels of arthritis in the joint over time and carry risks if repeated too often.
Hyaluronic acid injections are a gentler options which provides long-lasting relief without the same risks.
The procedure is usually quick and only involves mild discomfort, similar to a blood test or standard injection.
Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as slight swelling, warmth, or discomfort at the injection site. Serious side effects are rare.
