Viscosupplementation in Colorado for Joint Pain Relief
If you’re living with knee pain or joint stiffness from arthritis, viscosupplementation may help you find relief—without surgery or long‒term medications. This minimally invasive procedure uses hyaluronic acid, a gel‒like substance designed to mimic the body’s natural synovial fluid, which lubricates and cushions the joint to reduce pain over time.
At Advanced Regenerative Health, we offer viscosupplementation injections as part of a personalized care plan focused on restoring comfort and mobility through natural methods.

What Is Viscosupplementation?
Viscosupplementation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat arthritis and reduce joint pain, particularly in the knees. This therapy involves injecting hyaluronic acid—a thick, gel‒like substance that naturally lubricates joints as a key component of synovial fluid—into the affected area to improve cushioning, reduce friction, and ease movement.
As arthritis wears down cartilage, the joint loses its natural cushioning, and fluid becomes thinner. Viscosupplementation helps restore that balance, acting as a shock absorber to relieve friction between bones. The result is reduced stiffness, improved mobility, and greater comfort for many patients with arthritic knees.
At Advanced Regenerative Health, each injection is tailored to your condition and may be guided by advanced imaging for precision and comfort.
Conditions Viscosupplementation Can Help Treat
Viscosupplementation is most often used to treat knee pain caused by osteoarthritis, but it may also support other joints affected by wear, inflammation, or cartilage loss.
At Advanced Regenerative Health, we may include viscosupplementation as part of a personalized plan when appropriate—especially for patients seeking pain relief without surgery or long‒term medications.
Loss of joint fluid and cartilage in the knees can lead to swelling, stiffness, and chronic pain. Viscosupplementation injections help restore lubrication, reduce inflammation, and ease movement in patients with arthritic knees—offering an effective, nonsurgical option for pain relief.
Cartilage degeneration in the shoulder joint may cause pain when lifting or rotating the arm. Injecting hyaluronic acid into the shoulder helps reduce friction between the upper arm bone and socket, improving range of motion and reducing discomfort over several weeks.
In cases of ankle osteoarthritis, viscosupplementation may help replenish lost synovial fluid, ease joint stiffness, and support daily mobility—especially for patients not yet ready for surgical intervention.

Viscosupplementation FAQs
How long do viscosupplementation injections last?
Most patients begin to notice relief within a few weeks, with results lasting several months. The effects vary depending on the severity of arthritis, your overall medical condition, and how your body responds to the hyaluronic acid preparation. In some cases, follow-up injections may be recommended to maintain joint comfort and mobility.
How much do viscosupplementation injections cost?
Costs can vary depending on your insurance coverage and whether the injections are part of a broader care plan. During your initial visit, we’ll review your needs, discuss any regular medications, and provide a clear breakdown of pricing. Many patients are surprised to learn that this alternative treatment may be partially or fully covered.
Can I walk after a gel injection in my knee?
Yes. Most patients can walk shortly after the procedure. However, we recommend avoiding performing strenuous activities for at least 24–48 hours to allow the joint injection site to settle. Your provider will give you specific guidance based on your health status and response to the injection.
How to increase synovial fluid in the knee naturally?
Staying active with low-impact movement, maintaining a healthy weight, and supporting joint health through diet may help promote synovial fluid production. In some cases, treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or growth factors can also support natural repair and joint lubrication. If there is excess fluid due to inflammation, our team will assess whether drainage or other therapies may be needed before proceeding with viscosupplementation.
