Visco supplementation is the use of specialized injections to reduce pain and inflammation in the knee. The injections are composed of a dense gel that contains hyaluronic acid, a biological protein that helps lubricate the joint. The body naturally produces hyaluronic acid, though quantities diminish with age. When this gel is injected directly into the joint, it helps improve the viscosity of joint fluids while also improving joint mobilization.
PRP (Platelet rich plasma) therapy is gaining in popularity as “the blood injection of miracle”. PRP contains several different growth factors and other cytokines which may elicit gathering of stem cells around the damaged region stimulating cellular proliferation and tissue generation. Since the patient uses his or her own blood for the collection of platelets, there is absolutely no possibility of infection or other side effects.
For many, Om Hospital visco supplementation and PRP injections are an alternative to undergoing surgery. For others, the injections are merely a means of minimizing chronic pain caused by physical trauma or degenerative disease, such as osteoarthritis.
When to use this therapy?
The relief available with visco supplementation and PRP Injections varies from patient to patient. Some experience instantaneous results, whereas others do not experience the benefits until one or two months after treatment. Depending on individual outcomes and long-term goals for treatment, some patients may opt to receive this therapy more than once per year. Occasionally, surgery is still necessary despite visco supplementation and PRP therapy.
