HYALGAN® Knee Injections
Regernative Healthcare is the premiere facility in the Savannah, Georgia, area that offers HYALGAN® knee injections.
As we age and undergo the stress of continued use, our body’s synovial fluid can become depleted. This is especially true in the knees which are the body’s largest weight bearing joint. This can lead to a reduction in joint space resulting in loss of cartilage, swelling and discomfort as well a reduced strength and limited range of motion. This process results in a condition known as osteoarthritis of the knee, sometimes referred to as “wear and tear arthritis”. Watch the video below to learn more.

Why We Use HYALGAN® for Knee Injections
HYALGAN® is a much lighter substance, and because of that it tends to get in between your joint space better than a thick gel. HYALGAN® is used five times in each affected knee, as opposed to three times like most doctors do. This is because we are attempting to get the body to produce the fluid again on its own, through repetition. The more injections, the better shot you have of your body mimicking and self-producing again.
Fluoroscopic Guidance
Our use of fluoroscopic guidance ensures that we never have to perform a “blind injection”. Most doctors who administer these kinds of knee injections do so blindly. That means that whereas they may look at an x-ray of your knee, and feel around it a bit, they are still making an educated guess as to where they are placing the needle inside your joint. We can see a live image of your joint on our screen, like a live X-ray. This allows us to literally place the tip of the needle right in between your joint space, where it needs to be.
Physical Therapy Paired with Knee Injections
The use of Physical therapy paired with the injections has been proven to increase the success rates of this treatment. By allowing your muscles and ligaments to strengthen around the joint, it takes off a lot of the pressure that causes inflammation. It also helps to keep your joint from freezing or sticking.
Custom-Fitted Bracing after Knee Injections
Our custom-fitted bracing are weight-bearing and help to keep your joints separated after each injection, or during any strenuous activity you might have to do in your personal life. We recommend that patients wear them at least 2-3 hours after each injection as it literally creates a joint space, and allows the fluid to get in and do its job. We also recommend that patients wear it if they are going to be doing yard work, or walking for longer distances. It can be worn comfortably under loose pants or overtop.
