Hylagan injections are hyaluronic acid treatments that target osteoarthritis pain in the knees. At InterveneMD, we most commonly use this method of knee pain relief in addition to oral anti-inflammatory supplements like ibuprofen and topical anti-inflammatories like diclofenac gel.

Treat Me Right
Do you remember a time when running, jumping, and participating in active activities with friends and loved ones felt easy? Rediscover the fun and comfort of maintaining an active lifestyle with Hyalgan injections in Charleston. Hyalgan injections are made from a moisturizing acid called hyaluronic acid. When pain pills or steroid shots have stopped providing relief, doctors will often turn to Hyalgan injections for knee pain. When you meet with the specialists at InterveneMD, we will treat you like family so you can get back to doing the things you love.

Treatment Do’s and Don’ts
- You can manage pain by applying ice to the area for 20 minutes at a time.
- If approved by your providers, ibuprofen and Tylenol can be used to lessen any discomfort.
- Refrain from using extreme heat sources like saunas or hot tubs for 2 days, as these could increase the inflammation in your body.
- Do not engage in any strenuous activity for 24 hours, and avoid any impact to the treated joint.
