Treatment Of Osteoarthritis Using Synvisc Injection
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis found. It is also known as the old persons arthritis, wear-and-tear arthritis etc. Arthritis is a situation when the body starts lacking the amount of liquid in the body, which is required for the joints in the body to perform smoothly. Osteoarthritis is mainly about the knee pain. A general knee pain may happen due to excessive tension being built up at the knee by constant standing or strenuous jobs being done out of the blue. But if the pain is persistent and even the knee joint shows difficulty in working then is the time to take action. It may be osteoarthritis!!
Synvisc injections have lately proved to be one of the best solutions for the osteoarthritis affected knees (or joints). Synvisc injections are the devices made up of hyaluronan which is a natural chemical found in all the tissues of the body but in high amounts at the joints. Hyaluronan acts as a shock absorber and lubricant present in the joints. Osteoarthritis deteriots the quality of hyaluronan and thus the functioning of the joints becomes more difficult. Synvisc injections are thus used to inject the hyaluronan into the joints for their proper functioning. The injection dramatically takes place of the natural synovial and fills in the hyaluronan and performs the task of lubricating the joints. The affect of synvisc injections last for about 6 months. This is supposedly the best treatment for people suffering from osteoarthritis and having no relief with the general medication.
However the synvisc treatment is not a cure for the osteoarthritis but is a cure for the pain caused due to osteoarthritis. Synvisc injections are effective at all the stages but it is found that if it is taken at the early stages, it is most effective. Although synvisc has a toll as it cannot be taken with any other drug. Synvisc injections have benefited the patients by giving relief in the first week of intaking them but at the same time it may differ from person to person.
Along with the benefits of the injection, there may occurs some problem as the injection is injected directly in the joints and this may result in swelling, pain or discomfort for sometime. But overall the synvisc injection treatment may be considered as one of the best treatment for osteoarthritis.
