VISCOSUPPLEMENTATION

Understanding Viscosupplementation

Viscosupplementation is a minimally invasive treatment used to manage osteoarthritis, especially in weight-bearing joints like the knees, hips, or shoulders. It involves injecting hyaluronic acid, a natural gel-like substance found in healthy joint fluid, directly into the affected joint to restore lubrication and cushioning.

In osteoarthritis, the quality and quantity of hyaluronic acid within the joint decreases, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. At REGENIQUE, Dr. Tushar B Munnoli uses ultrasound or fluoroscopy to guide the injection with precision, ensuring the hyaluronic acid is accurately delivered into the joint space for maximum benefit.

Viscosupplementation helps reduce friction between bones, relieve joint discomfort, and improve movement—often delaying the need for surgery or long-term medication use.
