Description

Hyalgan medication, which resembles the fluid surrounding the body’s joints, treats knee pain in patients with joint inflammation. This fluid lubricates the joints and functions as a shock absorber.  

Hyalgan Injection is administered by a doctor and is generally given once a week for five weeks. You should be able to enjoy up to 6 months of pain-free movement towards the conclusion of this period. Individual outcomes will vary; however specific treatments have been demonstrated to be beneficial with a three-week schedule.
