Viscosupplementation

Viscosupplementation is the injection of a chemical called hyaluronic acid into the joint (usually the knee) in an attempt to treat the symptoms of osteoarthritis.  This medicine, often called “chicken grease” because of its origins as an avian protein taken from chicken rooster combs, has a proven history of success in practice and in the medical literature.  Dr. Bushnell has extensive experience with viscosupplementation injections, including since or multiple injection therapies.  While viscosupplementation is not a “magic cure,” it is not nearly as invasive or expensive as surgical interventions such as a knee replacement.  Schedule an appointment today to see if you may be a candidate for this successful method of relieving arthritis pain.
