Introduction
If you suffer from osteoarthritis or knee pain, you understand the challenges of finding lasting relief. Among the various treatment options available, Viscosupplementation, commonly known as gel injections, has emerged as a non-invasive surgery alternative that can provide surprisingly long-lasting relief. In this blog, we will explore the benefits of Viscosupplementation, focusing on how long the relief typically lasts for those seeking joint comfort and mobility.
Immediate Effects
Many patients experience immediate relief following the gel injection. The added lubrication in the joint reduces friction, alleviates pain, and improves mobility. Some individuals report feeling a significant reduction in knee pain and joint discomfort, making daily activities easier to manage. At the Joint Relief Institute, we have witnessed patients walk out of our offices after their injections and return to their daily routines almost immediately.
Duration of Relief
The duration of relief from Viscosupplementation varies from person to person. While some individuals may experience pain relief for several months, others may enjoy over a year of enhanced joint comfort, making it a considerably durable solution to knee pain. It is essential to understand that the effectiveness of Viscosupplementation can be influenced by several factors, such as the severity of osteoarthritis, overall health, and lifestyle choices.
Factors Affecting Duration
Several factors can influence how long the relief from Viscosupplementation lasts:
- Severity of Osteoarthritis: The earlier Viscosupplementation is administered in the disease’s progression, the more prolonged the benefits tend to be.
- Number of Injections: Some individuals may require more injections than others for optimal results. The number of injections may impact the duration of relief.
- Lifestyle Choices: Engaging in low-impact exercises, maintaining a healthy weight, and following the recommended treatment plan can all contribute to the longevity of relief. Providers at the Joint Relief Institute will help walk you through healthy exercises for seniors with osteoarthritis during your visit.
Finally, each person’s body will react differently to the treatment. If you have concerns with the longevity or efficacy of your relief, please reach out to the Joint Relief Institute. Our providers will be happy to take your calls and visit with you.
