Synvinsc® Injections

What Are Synvisc® Injections?

If knee osteoarthritis is making movement difficult, Synvisc® injections may offer relief. Synvisc is a type of viscosupplementation, meaning it helps restore the natural lubrication in your knee joint. It contains hyaluronan, a gel-like substance that mimics the fluid naturally found in healthy joints. By improving cushioning and reducing friction, Synvisc can relieve pain and improve mobility for months at a time.

This treatment is ideal for patients who haven’t found relief with medications, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes. Synvisc is injected directly into the knee in a quick, in-office procedure, providing long-lasting relief without surgery.

How Synvisc® Works and What to Expect

The Synvisc injection process is simple and minimally invasive. A doctor will carefully inject the fluid into the knee joint, and most patients can resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. While some feel relief quickly, the full benefits of Synvisc develop over several weeks, with pain reduction lasting up to six months.

Synvisc can be a single injection (Synvisc-One®) or administered as a series of three injections spaced a week apart, depending on your needs. Unlike steroid injections, which focus on short-term inflammation relief, Synvisc provides longer-lasting cushioning and joint protection.
