This is an astoundingly high number of people. Many conditions can cause or contribute to this knee pain, including knee <a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/conditions\/osteoarthritis\/\">osteoarthritis<\/a>, gout, and other forms of <a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/conditions\/arthritis\/\">arthritis<\/a>. Luckily, our <a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/\">pain treatment center<\/a> offers a wide variety of treatments for knee joint pain. One of our most popular treatments is knee gel injections, also known as hyaluronic acid injections or viscosupplementation. We also offer other knee injection types, which we will discuss below.<\/p><p>At <strong>The Pain Relief Center<\/strong>, we take great pride in helping to treat knee pain for our patients. We understand that each patient\u2019s symptoms and conditions are unique. That\u2019s why we evaluate and treat all of our patients on an individual basis rather than using the same approach for every person. When you work with our Dallas pain management doctors, you receive personalized care and treatment every single time. If your chronic knee joint pain is keeping you from living your life the way you want, we\u2019re here for you.

They are also known as hyaluronic acid injections. Hyaluronic acid injection treatments aim to relieve pain, act as a shock absorber, improve the function of the joint, and avoid knee surgery. A natural substance called hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid) is injected directly into the knee joint. This cushions the joint, reduces friction between the bones, and reduces pain.<\/p><p>This treatment is approved by the FDA specifically for treating osteoarthritis of the knee. These injections are notably different from steroid injections and other knee injections, mainly because of the nature of the substance injected into the knee.<\/p><h3>Types of Knee Injections<\/h3><p>Aside from viscosupplements, there are other types of injections for knees that may provide effective relief for your pain.

You will arrive on the day of your appointment, and the medication will be injected directly into your knee joint. We prepare the area beforehand by sterilizing it and administering local anesthetic. This helps to reduce or eliminate any potential discomfort. You may return home after the procedure, but we recommend that you take it easy for the first few days. If you feel any soreness, you can apply an ice pack or use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to help.<\/p><h4>Can I Walk After Knee Injections?<\/h4><p><strong>Yes.<\/strong> However, try to refrain from activities that put more strain on your knees than walking for at least 48 hours.

While one person may experience relief for several weeks, another feels relief for up to a year or longer. In general, most patients feel relief for anywhere from six weeks to six months.<\/p><h3>Are Knee Gel Injections Worth It?<\/h3><p><strong>Absolutely.<\/strong> Knee gel injections have been widely researched and tested. In fact, the FDA has approved them specifically for the treatment of osteoarthritis. However, they may not provide relief for every single patient. In some cases, osteoarthritis has progressed too far for simple injections to treat properly. Luckily, your doctor can recommend other treatments that may be more effective for you.<\/p><h3>Are Knee Gel Shots Painful?<\/h3><p><strong>Generally, no.<\/strong> Prior to the injection, we administer a local anesthetic. This will numb the area, minimizing what you feel during the treatment. You may feel a slight pinch, but it shouldn\u2019t hurt more than that. Afterward, however, you should feel significant relief from your knee pain.<\/p><h2>Contact The Pain Relief Center for Your Knee Pain<\/h2><p>At <strong>The Pain Relief Center<\/strong>, we have extensive experience treating knee osteoarthritis and other forms of arthritis with gel injections, as well as other treatments.
