Company description
Joint injections are given to treat inflammatory joint conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, tendinitis, bursitis and occasionally osteoarthritis. Corticosteroids are frequently used for this procedure, as they are anti-inflammatory agents that slow down the accumulation of cells responsible for producing inflammation within the joint space. Hyaluronic acid (Hyalgan ®, Synvisc®) is a lubricating substance that may relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee.
