QUESTION: Do You Suffer From Knee Pain?
I have knee pain from arthritis. Is there anything I can do to relieve the pain? Is knee replacement my only option?
Osteoarthritis of the knee is the #1 leading cause of disability in the U.S. Over 27 million people suffer with knee arthritis and that number continues to grow. With knee arthritis, the cartilage breaks down and wears away, leaving the bones to rub together causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited range of motion. As the cartilage breaks down, the knee loses its lubrication fluid. With a natural substance called Hyalgan, the lubrication is restored and many patients experience amazing pain relief within only a few weeks.
What is Hyalgan and how does it work?
Hyalgan is a natural lubricating fluid that acts as a lubricant and shock absorber inside the knee joint, enabling your knee to work. The substance in Hyalgan is hyaluronic acid which is normally found in high levels in healthy joints. Replacing the hyaluronic acid with Hyalgan lubricates the joint and reduces pain. Hyalgan has helped millions of people manage their knee pain for more than 25 years. Hyalgan has been administered over 40 million times and has been proven to provide long-lasting relief of knee pain from osteoarthritis.
What if you already tried knee injections?
If you have had injections like this in the past and experienced poor results, there is still hope! Many doctors in this area offer similar injections, but very few use precision fluoroscopy guidance. Fluoroscopy guidance ensures that the pain relieving Hyalgan reaches the knee capsule where it bonds with the joint fluid to create a lubrication and cushioning layer. Without fluoroscopy, it is estimated that doctors “miss” the capsule over 30% of the time resulting in poor results. We want each and every one of our patients to have the greatest chance of success, so every injection is done with precision fluoroscopy guidance to ensure that the Hyalgan gets into the capsule 100% of the time. Because of this patients who previously felt little to no relief with “blind” injections are now getting excellent results in our office.
Will my insurance cover Hyalgan?
This procedure is covered by most major insurance companies including Medicare. Our insurance department pre-verifies every patient to confirm insurance coverage.
