SYNVISC INJECTION FOR:

Knee Joint Osteoarthritis

When the knees are affected by osteoarthritis, the pain caused by cartilage friction and inflammation limits physical activities and flexibility of the joint. When injected into the osteoarthritic knee, the hyaluronic acid in Synvisc injection acts as a lubricant and a shock absorber, offering protection to the cartilages. It forms a protective cushion between the knee cartilages.

Synvisc injections for arthritic knees are usually administered once every week for three weeks. If the desired results are not acquired after the first set of injections, your specialist may repeat the procedure after four weeks with a higher dosage of about three injections per week. The dosage recommended by your specialist will vary depending on the condition of the knee, an individual’s weight, and other factors.

Hip Joint Osteoarthritis

The hip joint enables us to move around when performing physical activities. When affected by osteoarthritis, mobility becomes painful and uncomfortable. Synvisc replaces the diminished hip joint synovial fluid, alleviating pain and inflammation by forming a cushion between the hip joint cartilages. Synvisc restores hip joint function, making it more comfortable to move around.

Injecting Synvisc to hip joints is more complicated than injecting it into knee joints. It requires more precision to ensure that the hyaluronan/ hyaluronic acid is delivered right into the hip joint. Luckily, at Push Pounds Sports Medicine, we have certified specialists who can inject Synvisc into the hip joint, guided by ultrasound imaging.

Hip joint osteoarthritis requires a single Synvisc injection, every 1-3 months.

Shoulder Joint Osteoarthritis

Shoulder or glenohumeral joint osteoarthritis causes pain and discomfort when you perform tasks using the affected hand. The shoulder joint cartilages are slowly damaged and worn away, and without intervention, they can incur significant damage. Synvisc injection offers a way to protect the osteoarthritic shoulder joint and helps alleviate pain and discomfort.

Shoulder joint osteoarthritis requires 1 Synvisc injection every 1-3 months. The frequency depends on the severity of the osteoarthritis and the results obtained after each Synvisc injection.

Patients can opt to receive a Toronto Synvisc Injection to treat pain caused by osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis.  First, it occurs when the protective cartilage on the ends of your bones wears down over time.  The disorder most commonly affects joints in your knees, hipshands, and spine.  Although the underlying cause of Arthritis can not change, the symptoms are effectively manageable. Staying active, maintaining a healthy weight can reduce pain, and improve joint function. The symptoms include pain in the joints during or after activity.  There can also be stiffness, loss of flexibility, and a grating sensation in the joint.

The injections involves the naturally occurring protein produced by the joints.  When the production of hyaluronic acid diminishes or breaks down, patients suffer.  When there is very little to none, it causes friction and stiffness between the joints.  The Toronto Synvisc Injection, works by acting like a lubricant and shock absorber in the joints.  It helps the joints to work properly.
