No, surgery is not involved. All of our treatments are minimally invasive and focus on delivering effective pain relief without the need for surgical procedures.
No recovery time is needed. The injections are minimally invasive and feel much like having blood drawn. Most patients can return to work and continue their normal daily activities on the same day as their treatment.
Appointments usually last around 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into a lunch break. The injection itself is very quick and takes less than one minute. Your initial consultation visit is longer and typically takes about one hour.
At your appointment, you and the provider will review your medical history in detail. X-rays may be taken if required, and the most suitable treatment plan for your condition will be discussed.
Hyaluronic acid is a gel-like substance that is naturally produced inside the human body. It exists in the skin, hair, nails, and especially within joint spaces. As we age, our natural production decreases. A safe and natural replacement comes from the rooster’s comb, which closely matches the hyaluronic acid found in our joints and helps improve knee movement and comfort.
The total number of injections depends on the treatment plan selected with your provider. Most patients receive about five injections per knee for optimal results. Based on effectiveness and patient outcomes, we commonly use the following options:
1- Mild swelling, slight bleeding, or light bruising may occur at the injection site.
2- Overall, side effects are minimal and are similar to what is typically seen with a placebo.
4: How long does knee pain relief last?
1- Pain relief from hyaluronic acid knee injections can last from 6 months up to 2 years, depending on the severity of knee arthritis and individual response to treatment.
5: Does insurance cover this treatment?
1- Yes. Medicare and most commercial insurance plans cover hyaluronic acid injections. In many cases, repeat treatments are approved every six months if medically necessary.
6: I’ve had knee surgery — can this still help?
1- Yes, this treatment may still be effective if you have had a partial knee replacement. However, it is not suitable for patients who have undergone a total knee replacement.
7: I have a torn meniscus. Will this treatment work for me?
1- If you have knee osteoarthritis, hyaluronic acid injections may still provide relief. If X-rays show no signs of osteoarthritis, another regenerative treatment may be a better option. We also offer targeted treatments designed specifically for meniscus repair. The best solution for your condition will be discussed during your consultation.
1- Are PRP injections FDA-approved?
Yes. There are several PRP preparation systems available today that have received FDA clearance for medical use.
2- Does insurance cover PRP therapy?
No. Currently, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments are not covered by insurance and must be paid for out-of-pocket.
Yes. The stem cells we use for therapy meet FDA regulatory standards and are also certified by the American Blood Bank and the American Tissue Bank to ensure safety and quality.
Our stem cells are sourced from a fully accredited scientific company and tissue bank. They are obtained from voluntarily donated umbilical cords from healthy live births, including natural and cesarean deliveries. Donors are carefully screened for health, and only those who meet strict criteria are allowed to contribute.
After donation, the stem cells are processed by licensed professionals and a sample from each donor is maintained on file by both the harvesting company and the FDA. The cells are transported and stored cryogenically (frozen) to maintain their integrity until use.
No. At this time, stem cell treatments are not covered by insurance. However, the cost may still be lower than surgical alternatives, especially when considering high deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses for surgery.
Yes. We provide CareCredit and flexible payment plans to help make treatment more accessible.
