What Is A Joint Lubricant Injection?
A joint lubricant injection, also called viscosupplementation, is a treatment that helps joints move more smoothly. It involves injecting a gel-like substance called hyaluronic acid into the affected joint to provide extra cushioning and lubrication. Since hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the body, this treatment helps reduce friction, ease pain, and improve movement. By adding more lubrication, joint injections can relieve stiffness, decrease inflammation, and help you move more comfortably.
What Conditions Do Joint Lubricant Injections Treat?
Joint lubricant injections are often used for degenerative joint conditions in which natural lubrication and cushioning of the joint have deteriorated over time. Here are some of the most common conditions treated with these injections:
Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is the most common condition treated with joint lubricant injections, especially in weight-bearing joints like the knees, hip, and shoulder. As cartilage in the joint breaks down, natural lubrication decreases and pain sets in. Hyaluronic acid injections can help relieve pain and stiffness and improve joint function.
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders: Hyaluronic acid injections can be used to treat TMJ disorders in certain cases where the joint that connects the jaw to the skull bones becomes inflamed or damaged. These injections provide lubrication to help relieve pain and improve jaw movement.
Other Joint Conditions: Other joint conditions such as elbow pain or ankle arthritis can also be treated with hyaluronic acid injections in order to reduce pain and increase movement.
