Viscosupplementation is an injection treatment used for painful joints, most commonly the knee. It typically involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the joint space to improve lubrication. It is most often discussed in the context of knee osteoarthritis and mechanical joint pain. Clinicians may consider it when other non-surgical options have not provided enough relief.
