What Is Happening To Your Shoulder?
Over time, the cartilage that cushions your shoulder gradually thins from everyday use, allowing the bones to rub together and create the pain you feel now.
Instead of replacing what's been worn down, our approach focuses on helping restore it with a hyaluronic acid gel injection—one of the key building blocks of your body's natural cartilage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the procedure hurt?
No. We numb your shoulder with cold spray and Lidocaine before the injection. Most patients describe only a brief pressure sensation — not pain. Many leave the office feeling relief they haven't had in years.
Is it covered by insurance?
Shoulder gel injections are covered by most PPO insurance plans. Because shoulder viscosupplementation is considered off-label, Medicare coverage varies by plan — our team verifies your specific benefits before treatment, so you'll know your exact out-of-pocket cost before your appointment.
How many visits will I need?
Most patients receive a series of 1 to 3 injections spaced 1-2 weeks apart, depending on the specific gel product selected and the severity of your condition. Many patients feel significant relief after the first injection.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare. Some patients experience mild soreness at the injection site for 1-2 days. Serious complications are extremely uncommon. Our doctors review your health history to ensure you're a good candidate.
When will I feel relief?
Many patients feel relief within 30 minutes. Full benefits typically develop over 2-4 weeks as the gel helps restore cushioning in the joint. Relief commonly lasts 6-12 months, and the treatment can be repeated.
Am I too old, or is my arthritis too advanced?
There's no upper age limit for treatment — we've successfully treated patients in their 90s. Even patients with advanced 'bone-on-bone' arthritis often benefit significantly. Schedule a risk-free screening to find out if you qualify.
