Joint Health Enhancement
Synvics
Synvisc® (hylan G-F 20) and Synvisc-One® are leading viscosupplements used to manage pain associated with osteoarthritis in joints such as the knee, hip, ankle, and shoulder. These treatments are designed to mimic the properties of healthy, young synovial fluid, providing effective lubrication and cushioning that improves joint function and comfort.
Synvics's features:
-
Targeted Pain Relief: Synvisc injections are formulated to reduce osteoarthritis pain significantly, allowing for improved mobility and quality of life.
-
Extended Duration: While Synvisc requires three injections over several weeks, Synvisc-One® offers the same benefits in a single injection, with effects that can last for up to six months.
-
Broad Applicability: Suitable for multiple joints including the knee, hip, ankle, and shoulder, addressing pain across various critical areas affected by osteoarthritis.
Usage and Effectiveness:
-
Synvisc is injected directly into the joint space, providing relief that can last from six months up to a year. It is particularly effective for patients who are actively using their joints and is recommended for those at various stages of osteoarthritis, especially in mild to moderate cases. The treatment can be repeated as needed, typically every six months, based on the patient's symptoms and physician's recommendation.
​
Considerations for Best Results:
-
Optimal results with Synvisc are achieved when patients maintain an active lifestyle, incorporating appropriate physical activities as advised by healthcare providers. Patients are encouraged to discuss realistic activity goals with their healthcare provider to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment and integrate it smoothly into their daily lives.
