New Approach To Treat Osteoarthritis in Nutley NJ

Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique commonly used by physicians to obtain real-time moving images of the internal structures of a patient through the use of a fluoroscope. In its simplest form, a fluoroscope consists of an X-ray and a monitor where the doctor can see exactly where the needle is positioned and precisely how the procedure is being executed.
Using fluoroscopy, Hyalgan is injected directly into the knee joint. Once injected in the joint space, Hyalgan will naturally lubricate and cushion the joint.

What can I expect from Hyalgan  treatment?
Hyalgan can provide up to six months of osteoarthritis knee pain relief. Everyone responds differently, but in a medical study patients experienced relief starting one month after the injection. Hyalgan can be repeated safely, so keep track of your symptoms and talk with your doctor if your knee pain begins to return.

What are the side effects?
The side effects most commonly seen in a medical study were knee pain, stiffness and swelling or fluid buildup in or around the knee. Other side effects, such as rash, may also occur. Side effects were generally mild to moderate and did not last long. Hyalgan does not have the serious side effects associated with many pain pills.
