Durolane Injection
Durolane Injection
This treatment represents one of the best effective and rapid natural solutions for the management of knee pain due to osteoarthritis. Knee osteoarthritis can be complicated to treat and worsen over time. Analgesics and painkillers taken chronically to relieve pain may contribute to long-term side effects. Durolane , on the other hand, is a natural treatment that provides the ideal solution without having the harmful effects of long-term analgesic medications. With just one injection, this product can provide relief that can last for months thanks to its active ingredient hyaluronic acid (HA). This substance is injected into the knee and acts as a cushion and lubricant that reduces friction and shock in the knee.
What sets Durolane apart is its unique viscosupplement formulation that is intentionally designed to resist deterioration and extend its lifespan. Since its global introduction in 2001, It has undergone extensive clinical evaluation, surpassing other similar therapies in terms of research. It has a remarkable safety profile for recurrent treatments, demonstrating its prolonged pain relief compared to corticosteroid injections. It is important to note that the hyaluronic acid used comes from non-animal sources, minimizing the potential for allergic reactions.
Why use Durolane for joint pain?
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that worsens with age. Chronic consumption of painkillers such as anti-inflammatories over the long term can cause harmful effects such as gastric problems and complications. Painkillers like opioids cause dependence and increase immobilization due to their sedative effects. Durolane injection is natural and acts mechanically between the joints. Its unique hyaluronic acid formula distinguishes it from Synvisc-One, a similar product but which lasts less. Since its launch, this product has stood out in numerous clinical studies, demonstrating its safety and effectiveness in relieving knee pain.
