What is Viscosupplementation?
If you experience pain during any of the above activities, you may have osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee and Euflexxa may be able to help.
It may be hard to see yourself as someone who needs a prescription therapy rather than over-the-counter medications to help with your OA knee pain. However Euflexxa was designed for people like you—people in the stages of OA knee pain described as “mild to moderate.”
Euflexxa is a non-surgical therapy that takes a few minutes to administer in your doctor's office. It treats OA knee pain at its source. Euflexxa can help lessen pain to assist you in staying active. Euflexxa is a treatment to help relieve knee pain due to osteoarthritis. Euflexxa has been used by thousands of people with OA of the knee to help manage their pain. More than 4 out of 5 people who received Euflexxa were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with their treatment according to a clinical study.
Please take some time to explore the Euflexxa website. You will find lots of helpful information about OA of the knee and knee pain, as well as about Euflexxa and other treatment options. You can also learn what people with OA knee pain think about Euflexxa.
