THAT IS?
Hyaluronic acid is a high molecular weight substance that is found in high concentration in the skin, cartilage, and synovial fluid. Provides hydration and acts as a lubricant. Infiltrated into the joint, it promotes the maintenance of joint integrity and aims to reduce pain and improve the mobility of the joint. At the peritendinous level, it nourishes the damaged tissue and exerts an analgesic function.
The most common pathologies that benefit from this technique are chondromalacia patella, osteoarthritis (knee, hip, hand, foot/ankle) and tendinopathy of the back, elbow, wrist or ankle. The injection does not usually present complications and is guided by ultrasound to guarantee the correct deposit of the product.
