Acid / Visco
Hyaluronic acid, also known as viscosupplementation or “visco” therapy, is a treatment designed to restore the natural lubrication within a joint. Healthy joints contain hyaluronic acid, which helps absorb shock and allows smooth movement. With injury, overuse, or arthritis, this lubrication can decrease, leading to pain and stiffness.
Visco injections deliver hyaluronic acid directly into the joint—most commonly the knee—to improve cushioning, reduce friction, and enhance mobility. At Relevé Sports Medicine, these injections are often performed using ultrasound guidance for precise placement. Hyaluronic acid therapy offers a non-surgical option for patients seeking longer-lasting joint pain relief and improved function.
