Viscosupplementation injections, or hyaluronic acid injections, are a non-surgical treatment for osteoarthritis. These injections involve the administration of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that provides lubrication and cushioning in joints.
Viscosuplementation is a great option for patients looking to improve joint lubrication and function to reduce pain long term. Everyone responds differently to injections but patients typically report relief for up to six months.
Visco is covered by insurance with prior authorization when indicated for Osteoarthritis.
