When to Use HA Injection for Osteoarthritis Treatment

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and affects millions of people in the whole world.

As OA progresses, the cartilage will continue to break down. The bone spurs at the side of joints. The tissue that lines the joint will become inflamed, and it could produce extra synovial fluid, causing swelling.

Grades of Osteoarthritis:

Mild Osteoarthritis:

Cartilage breakdown has begun

Moderate Osteoarthritis: 

HA becomes less viscous, elastic and concentrated; joint pain becomes more severe with movement and at rest

Severe Osteoarthritis:     

Joint space has narrowed; cartilage degrades more rapidly; synovial fluid decreases, increasing friction and pain during movement

Treatment for different stages of Osteoarthritis:

Mild Osteoarthritis:

Increased exercise; weight loss

Moderate Osteoarthritis: 

Exercise; weight loss; pain relievers; steroid injection; HA injection

Severe Osteoarthritis:     

Surgery partial or total knee replacement
