Visco Gel Injection For Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis (3D Animatio...

Ever thought you could relieve knee pain without surgery? That's exactly what viscogel injections are for. It's a thick gel like substance made from hyaluronic acid, a natural component already found in healthy joint fluid, whose main job is to lubricate and cushion the joint. But when you have knee osteoarthritis, that joint fluid gets thinner and less effective. That leads to pain, stiffness and that familiar grinding feeling in your knee. A doctor injects viscogel directly into your knee joint, usually with the help of ultrasound guidance to make sure it's placed safely and precisely. Once inside, the gel acts like a soft cushion, helping the joint move smoothly, reducing friction and relieving pain. It doesn't work instantly, but most people start to feel better within a few days to a few weeks. And the relief can last for up to six months. This treatment is especially helpful for people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis, especially when painkillers or physical therapy just aren't cutting it. The best part? No surgery required. It's repeatable. The whole procedure usually takes less than 15 minutes.
