Hyaluronic Acid Treatment For Joints

Are you tired of suffering from joint pain and looking for a natural way to ease your discomfort? Look no further than hyaluronic acid, a powerful substance found naturally in the body that can provide relief for joint pain and stiffness.

Hyaluronic Acid or “HA” is a key component of synovial fluid, which helps lubricate and cushion your joints. As we age, our bodies produce less hyaluronic acid, leading to decreased joint lubrication and increased friction, which can cause pain and inflammation. Think of it as a WD-40 oil change for your joints. Not only does Hyaluronic Acid help to lubricate, it also helps the body to be more efficient in the production and use of synovial fluid to coat and add a buffer to achy bone on bone joint spaces. 

Supplementing with HA can help replenish your body’s natural supply, reducing joint pain and improving mobility. In fact, studies have shown that hyaluronic acid injections is highly effective in treating osteoarthritis, with patients experiencing less pain and improved joint function. 

HA is also a safe and natural alternative to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which can have negative side effects and be harmful when used long-term. In fact, the continued use of corticosteroids like Cortisone can actually exacerbate osteoarthritis, essentially dissolving the bone due to its toxic nature! Unlike NSAIDs, hyaluronic acid does not just mask pain, it actually helps protect your joints.

Had HA Injections Before? Did You Expect Better Results?

Not all clinics, protocols and plans of care are created equal. At Joint Regeneration Center of

Utah, we take a patented approach that works. Due to the highly viscous nature of HA, if the

substance is not introduced directly into the joint space or bursa, the medication will have zero

effect and will be excreted by natural processes in the body giving patients no effective

outcome. This happens when physicians do what’s called “going in blind”. At Joint Regeneration

Center of Utah, all injection treatments are done with the use of highly sophisticated imaging

called “Fluoroscopic Guidance”. When you arrive for your consult, we first inject a radioisotope

dye to get a clear picture of what’s going on in your joint space. This is where we can look for

any potential tears or other abnormalities that would contraindicate the use of HA or make HA

treatment unnecessary. However, if all looks good and intact in the joint space, we know for

certain you will be a good candidate for HA treatment. Each subsequent injection is then

performed under the same fluoroscopic imaging to make sure the medication is reaching its

intended target with 99.99% confidence. If you’ve had these injections before and did not

receive needle guidance coupled with a customized joint unloading brace to let the medication

travel easily throughout the joint space, you probably didn’t get the relief you were looking for.

Don’t rely on clinics and practitioners that simply go in blind and lack best-in-practice protocols,

no matter their level of experience. 

So if you’re looking for a natural way to ease your joint pain and improve your mobility,

consider supplementing with hyaluronic acid. It’s a safe, effective, and natural solution to help

you feel your best. We are excited to hear from you and would be happy to have our providers

answer any questions you have!
