How the treatment may help

Ultrasound-guided hyaluronic acid injections are designed to improve lubrication in painful or stiff joints. The treatment is performed by experienced clinicians after an assessment of whether it is suitable.

May reduce pain and stiffness in knees, hips and shoulders
May improve mobility and help with everyday activities
May help some patients delay joint replacement surgery

Who may benefit?

Hyaluronic acid injections may be considered after assessment for people with painful or stiff joints. The source site says patients often gain the most benefit when arthritis is mild to moderate, they remain active, swelling is not excessive and a rehabilitation plan follows treatment.

Mild to moderate arthritis confirmed by appropriate imaging
An active lifestyle or a goal of returning to regular activity
Regular medication is currently needed for pain control
The affected joint does not have excessive swelling
Targeted physiotherapy after injection can improve joint strength and flexibility
