Atlanta Pain Center, ASAP, Explains What Knee Hyalgan Injections Are

    ATLANTA, GA, January 14, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Knee pain can be excruciating and debilitating. For patients with joint inflammation (osteoarthritis) whose condition has not responded well to ordinary pain killers, physical therapy or exercise, doctors may suggest trying Hyalgan injections as an alternative solution.

The injected substance is similar to what is naturally found in the joints. It acts as a lubricant, helping to increase the knee's range of motion, thus lessening the pain experienced by the patient. It can also serve as a shock absorber in the joint, further shielding the patient from sudden jolts of pain. It can take three or more Hyalgan injections for measurable relief to be felt.

Atlanta Spine and Alternative Pain Management Center (ASAP) seeks to discover and treat the root cause of every patient's pain, rather than merely focusing on the symptoms.
