Knee pain caused by osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common reasons older adults struggle with daily activities. It not only leads to pain and joint stiffness but also limits mobility, making walking difficult and reducing quality of life.
To manage the condition, many people rely on long-term pain medications or consider total knee replacement when the disease progresses. However, not everyone is a suitable candidate for surgery, and some simply prefer to avoid invasive procedures.
Is there a solution that’s both effective and non-surgical?
Recently, gel injections—also known as hyaluronic acid (HA) injections—have gained popularity. This minimally invasive treatment involves injecting HA directly into the knee joint. It helps reduce pain and improve mobility without the need for surgery.
