Relieve joint pain and slow down joint wear
Therapy with hyaluronic acid injections into painful joints is a proven method for treating osteoarthritis. Targeted injections slow down joint wear, relieve pain and noticeably improve mobility. We offer this gentle and natural therapy at our orthopaedic practice at Grellstraße 1a in Prenzlauer Berg. Hyaluronic acid injections are particularly useful for large joints such as the knee, hip and shoulder.
What are the effects of osteoarthritis treatment with hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of synovial fluid and ensures that joints can move smoothly. In osteoarthritis, the synovial fluid decreases, which leads to pain and limited mobility.
The targeted injection of synthetically produced hyaluronic acid into the joint acts as a ‘lubricant’ that improves lubrication, reduces the load on the cartilage and has anti-inflammatory effects. Often, just 3 to 5 treatments at intervals of one to two weeks are enough to achieve noticeable improvements.
Of course, we only use high-quality preparations in our orthopaedic practice. The aim is to relieve your pain, improve mobility and delay or avoid surgical intervention.
Frequently asked questions about hyaluronic acid therapy
Who is the therapy suitable for?
Hyaluronic acid therapy is particularly useful for osteoarthritis in large joints such as the knee, hip or shoulder, as well as for patients who want to relieve chronic joint pain and avoid surgery.
How does the treatment work?
The hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the affected joint. It acts as a ‘lubricant’ and helps to improve lubrication, protect cartilage and relieve pain.
How long does the effect of hyaluronic acid last?
The effect of hyaluronic acid therapy can last for several months, depending on the patient and the severity of the osteoarthritis.
Does the therapy have side effects?
Therapy with hyaluron or hyaluronic acid is usually well tolerated. Since hyaluronic acid is a substance produced naturally in the body, injections into the joint rarely cause allergic reactions or side effects. There may be slight swelling or redness at the injection site, but this usually disappears after a short time.
Does the health insurance cover the costs?
Hyaluronic acid therapy is an individual health service (IGeL) and is not covered by statutory health insurance. Privately insured persons usually receive a partial or full reimbursement from their health insurance company. It is best to clarify this in advance with your private health insurance company.
