Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Knee Injections For Pain In Brooklyn, NYC
What Are Hyalgan Knee Injections?
Hyaluronic acid (HA), also known as hyaluronan, is a naturally occurring component of your synovial fluid, the fluid lining of your knee joints. Hyaluronic acid lubricates your joints and prevents friction with movement.
At PainTherapy Medical Care, we use a premium brand of hyaluronic acid called “Hyalgan” to treat various knee joint conditions. Hyalgan is a solution of sodium hyaluronate that contains natural hyaluronic acid to relieve knee pain for as long as six months or possibly longer.
Hyalgan Knee Injections are one of the best alternatives to knee replacement surgery or knee arthroscopic surgery. They help improve knee mobility, and prevent the progression of degenerative knee diseases (e.g. osteoarthritis). Hyaluronic acid is injected directly into your joints to lubricate and relieve pain at the source.
Dr. Henry Sardar expertly performs Hyalgan Knee Injections with ultrasound guidance at our pain management clinic in Brooklyn, New York. He’ll help you find a therapy plan tailored for your condition – no surgery, no steroid injections, no chronic pain medications.

How Do Hyaluronic Acid Knee Injections Treat Pain?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural lubricant, shock absorber, and joint stabilizer.2 With the aid of ultrasound guidance, hyaluronic acid injections in your knee can stimulate healing and improve the range of motion.
Hyaluronic acid knee injections achieve their therapeutic effects through:
- Lubrication: The natural hyaluronic acid in your joints can diminish because of aging or chronic conditions (like osteoarthritis). Hyalgan replenishes your supply of HA and lubricates your joint to prevent friction.
- Reduced Friction: Age, sports injuries, and overuse can weaken the viscosity of your synovial fluid, leading to friction and pain. Injecting Hyalgan restores the normal viscosity to reduce friction and improve your knee’s mobility.
- Cell Regeneration: Hyaluronic acid injections trigger cell multiplication and regeneration, leading to faster healing. It also stimulates tissue regeneration of your cartilage.
- Anti-Inflammation: When chronic conditions damage the viscous joint lining, your knee bones constantly rub naked against each other, causing them to become inflamed. HA injections into your knee regulate inflammatory substances and reduce painful inflammation.

How Are Hyalgan Injections Administered?
Dr. Henry Sardar administers Hyalgan Knee Injections with ultrasound guidance. This means that he uses an ultrasound machine to guide the needle through the skin over your knee.
Your pain therapist then disinfects the injection site and applies a numbing agent to prevent discomfort during the procedure. If there is any excess fluid causing inflammation, he extracts it with the help of the ultrasound.
The ultrasound projects live imaging of the internal structures in your knee. It allows Dr. Sardar to see the path of injection.
Once Dr. Sardar determines the correct position, he delivers the Hyalgan shot into the painful joint and removes the needle once complete.
Recovery After Hyalgan Knee Injections
Hyalgan injections have no downtime. That means you’re free to continue your everyday routine after your session. Although, we suggest avoiding any strenuous activity that can add pressure on your newly treated joint.
Depending on how your body responds to the treatment, you may need about 4 to 5 sessions to get the full benefit. However, clinical studies show that HA injections significantly improve joint function and reduce pain after only a few sessions.
