Call us to find out if Visco-supplementation is a good option for your knee pain.

Visco-supplementation of the knee joint works like a lubricant for this hinge like joint. Patient with arthritis benefit for visco-supplementation injection in relieving pain, reducing need pain medications, postponing or eliminating need for knee replacement surgery.

A substance present in our knee joint is called hyaluronic acid. It helps joints collect and hold water, improving lubrication and reducing friction. In patients with osteoarthritis, there is less hyaluronic acid in the synovial fluid. As a result, the joint surfaces of the knee don’t get lubricated and are more likely to get injured from daily stresses on the joint.

I have been fighting knee replacement for years. I found out about Dr. Khaimov from my therapist, and I am so happy with my pain treatment. His NYC office is very accommodating and the staff is wonderful and caring. I recommend him highly and so glad to find an honest Doctor to help relieve pain. Anyone in Manhattan or Brooklyn who is close enough to his office should check out his pain management clinic. Anyone who starts to have trouble with their joints should go for the non-invasive technique.
