Hymovis is a treatment involving the injection of a substance called hyaluronan into a joint. This substance, naturally found in the body, helps lubricate and cushion your joints. The treatment can help reduce joint pain and improve mobility.

This procedure involves using a needle to remove (aspiration) or introduce (injection) fluid into a large joint like the knee or hip. It can help diagnose conditions, relieve discomfort, or deliver medication directly to the joint.

An X-ray of the knee, 3 views, is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses a small amount of radiation to produce images of the knee from three different angles. This helps medical professionals to diagnose and monitor conditions like arthritis, fractures, or infections. The process is quick and painless.

This is a routine visit for patients who have already been seen by the healthcare provider. During this approximately 20-29 minute appointment, your health status will be evaluated and any necessary treatments or tests will be discussed. It's a chance to address any health concerns you may have.

This injection contains two medications, betamethasone acetate and betamethasone sodium phosphate. It is used to reduce inflammation and pain. It's given by a healthcare professional, often directly into the area causing discomfort.

A bilateral knee joint replacement is a procedure where the damaged parts of both your knee joints are replaced with artificial parts. It aims to relieve pain and improve mobility. The process involves a surgical operation under anesthesia.
