5. Hyaluronic Acid Injection
For arthritis pain and inflammation in the knees, a boost to the cartilage can help with the discomfort. Like corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid (a component of natural cartilage) gets right to the heart of the matter: the slippery fluid is injected right into the joint space to help feed and repair the damaged cartilage that’s causing you pain.
Not every patient will see significant results, but there’s only a very small risk of allergic reaction, and those who do notice improvement report long-lasting relief. Since the treatment is only suitable for arthritis in the knees, you may need to combine hyaluronic injections with other therapies for widespread pain relief.
