Orthovisc (Sodium Hyaluronate)

Orthovisc Information:

Buy Orthovisc

Orthovisc (Sodium Hyaluronate) is an injectable medication used to ease symptoms of osteoarthritis. Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in your body, and is a key part of synovial fluid, which is the fluid between your joints. People with osteoarthritis often have lower levels of hyaluronic acid. This means that synovial fluid can no longer adapt its consistency as well. This results in friction between cartilage increasing, wearing down, and causing the bones to grind against each other during movement. This leads to symptoms of osteoarthritis such as pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduce joint function. When injected into the joint, Orthovisc works by mimicking synovial fluid. It can adapt to your movements the same way that synovial fluid does, which keeps friction between cartilage to a minimum, and in turn helps joints function normally again, as well as providing fast, long-lasting pain relief.
