If you are somebody who:
Has pain and finds it difficult to walk, play with your children or grandchildren and has lost a lot of their mobility,Has completely stopped doing any kind of exercise or physical activity due to the pain,Has been more of a supporter recently than a participant, but wishes they were back on the field/court/ track/ course, Doesn’t get paid when they are on sick leave and the pain has meant you are off work because of the pain, Found some exercises on the internet which say they can help your Joint Pain, but for whatever reason, they haven’t helped,then you are exactly the type of person that should consult with Raj to see whether a Durolane Injection can help you.
A Hyaluronic Acid Supplement Injection, also known as a Cartilage Supplement or a Sodium Hyaluronate Injection, is given mainly for Osteoarthritis and Arthritis symptoms. It is NOT a drug.
There are many different types of Hyaluronic Acid Supplement Injections available, but Raj uses Durolane and has been using it for a number of years, as he finds that it gives the best results. It is most often given to people who have Osteoarthritis, but there are a wide range of conditions for which it would be appropriate. It is usually injected into the Knee, Shoulder, Elbow, Hip or Ankle.
At every major joint in your body, there are bones that come together, allowing your joint to do things such as bend. Within the joints, there is a fluid called the Synovial Fluid which acts as a lubricant, allowing the bones to move over each other without grinding against each other. If you have a natural shortage of Synovial Fluid in the joints, as happens in Osteoarthritis, then the bones grate against each other, causing a great deal of pain.
The Hyaluroniuc Acid Supplement, which is a natural product, is used to replace or supplement the Synovial Fluid, meaning that your bones can move over each other without grating and considerably less pain for you.
There are not many contraindications for this treatment, which means that it is suitable for just about everybody. As this is not a drug, there is no limit on the number of injections you can have. You will feel the benefits on average for over 12 months, but this will vary depending on the person.
There a numerous benefits to a Hyaluronic Acid Injection including :
Relief for Stiffness and Joint Pain – don’t let joint pain and stiffness stop you doing the things that you enjoy. Durolane injections mean that your joints will have the right amount of lubrication, allowing you to move them freely (and banish the pain). You will feel more flexible, less pain-stricken and it will improve your overall comfort. In fact, you might even feel as you did before your Joint Pain robbed you of your autonomy. Effective Treatment for Osteoarthritis – don’t let Osteoarthritis slow you down or rule your life! Durolane Injections offer relief in all of your joints, which can increase mobility and flexibility.Targeted Pain Relief –Joint Pain significantly impacts your quality of life and ability to do even the most simple tasks. Durolane can help with this, removing the grinding pain that you might feel every time you move, no matter the cause. If you want to improve your joint function, and regain an active pain-free lifestyle, then a Hyaluronic Acid Injection is perfect for you.Support for Damaged Joints – if you have damaged one of your joints, be it through injury or another type of trauma, Durolane injections can help you recover and regain the mobility that you have lost. Durolane reduces any inflammation and supports the healing process, whilst also adding extra lubrication that may have been previously lost. This will give you a much greater chance of recovery than if you did nothing.Ageing – we all age and this means that our joints don’t work as well as they once did. But age is just a number and shouldn’t stop you from doing the things that you want to do! Durolane can help alleviate the symptoms of ageing by reducing inflammation and stiffness through its special lubricating properties. Joint Pain can be a thing of the past, while the new you is more flexible and is back to doing the activities you used to love before the pain struck.Before you come to Chester’s Premium Injection Therapy Clinic, there are a few more things to let you know :
If you have an infection in the area where you are planning to have an Injection, then you will need to delay until the infection has cleared up. Raj won’t inject in an infected area, because it can be dangerous for you.Once you have had your Injection, you should try to rest the injected area for a couple of days (but this might vary depending on where you have had the injection). If you get too excited too quickly about your new found mobility and ability to do things you haven’t been able to do too quickly, then it can reduce how effective the injection can be.You will be given specialist targeted exercises by Raj to do following on from your Injection Therapy. It is really important that you do these, as they will help strengthen the injected area and reduce the likelihood of you coming back for another treatment.As it takes a while for the Durolane Injection to be working at its best level, Raj will often book a Follow Up appointment with you to examine the area again and see how you are getting on. It is also an opportunity for him to see if there are any further exercises he can give you to help you.We do NOT do injections into the Spine. This is a highly specialised procedure and not one that is offered by Relive Physiotherapy.Raj will ask you about your medical history and your lifestyle. You need to make sure that you tell us absolutely everything as any incorrect or omitted information could put your health at risk. We need to know:
Any allergies that you might haveIf you are taking steroids, are epileptic or diabetic and taking medicationIf you have had surgery or are about to have surgery on the affected areaIf you have an infection or are feeling feverish or unwellIf you change your mind and do not want the Injection
