Viscosupplementation for Arthritis in NJ
Advanced Joint Lubrication Therapy for Osteoarthritis Pain & Stiffness
Non-Surgical Treatment by Board-Certified Pain Specialists in New Jersey
What Is Viscosupplementation?
Viscosupplementation is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure that involves injecting hyaluronic acid, a gel-like substance, into an arthritic joint. This synthetic fluid mimics the natural synovial fluid found in healthy joints, improving lubrication and reducing friction.
At Complete Medical Wellness, we offer FDA-approved viscosupplementation in NJ to help patients with osteoarthritis regain joint mobility and reduce daily pain.
Who Can Benefit from Viscosupplementation?
This treatment is typically recommended for patients with moderate to severe osteoarthritis who have not responded to:
- Oral pain medications

Procedures
How Is Viscosupplementation Performed?
This outpatient procedure usually takes only 15–30 minutes and does not require anesthesia. Here’s what to expect:
Joint Assessment & Preparation
Your provider will assess the joint, usually the knee, and remove any excess fluid through aspiration (if swelling is present). This helps make space for the injected medication.
Injection of Hyaluronic Acid
Using a single or dual-syringe method, your specialist will inject hyaluronic acid into the joint. This fluid:
- Enhances joint lubrication
- Cushions joint movement
- Reduces pain and inflammation over time
Most patients experience minimal discomfort—often described as pressure at the injection site.
Post-Procedure
You can typically return home shortly after the injection. Normal activity may resume within 24 hours, though strenuous activity should be avoided for 1–2 days.
