Joint injections can also include injections of hyaluronic acid. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or prolotherapy (hypertonic dextrose) into joints.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections
These injections are used to decrease pain and stiffness and improve mobility. Mainly for people suffering from osteoarthritis or arthritis in the joints. Arthritis is occasionally referred to as wear and tear of the joint.
The solution injected contains sodium hyaluronate. It is injected into the joint space where the synovial fluid is. The fluid acts as a lubricant reducing friction. Improving the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the worn cartilage.
