HYALURONIC ACID THERAPY

People suffering from knee pain do not always need surgery to find relief. There are many other reasons why people are not good candidates for surgery such as overall physical health or the lack of time to devote to rehabilitation.

Dr. Bayless offers hyaluronic acid therapy or synovial fluid replacement to relieve pain for arthritis and cartilage damage. The injections are basically designed to replace the synovial fluid that was either lost or destroyed over time due to the wear and tear on the knee joint. Dr. Bayless and staff are able to identify exactly the area of the knee need the injection by the use of a fluroscope. This is a feature many orthopedic and sports medicine offices are lacking at this time.

The hyaluronic acid fluid is comprised of different material and the course of treatment depends on the manufacturer. All treatments used are FDA approved. Manufacturers of the hyaluronic acid therapy fluid include:

Euflexxa
Synvisc
Suparz
Hyalgan
