Hyaluronic Acid Treatments for Joint Pain and Arthritis in Chico

At Rodgers chiropractic we are now proud to offer hyaluronic acid treatments in Chico for those who have severe osteoarthritis and joint pain. We use a product called GenVisc 850.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in almost all joints of your body. It is in high amounts particularly in joint tissues and in the fluid that fills the joint space, (synovial fluid).  GenVisc 850 is made from an extraction and purification of hyaluronic acid from fermentation of bacteria that make hyaluronic acid identical in chemical composition to human hyaluronic acid found in your joints.

How You Could Benefit From Hyaluronic Acid Treatments in Chico CA

The GenVisc 850 we use here at Rodgers Chiropractic helps supplement the viscous properties of the fluid in your own knee, hip or shoulder joint. It is approved by the FDA for treatment of pain due to osteoarthritis of the joint in patients who did not get adequate relief from simple painkillers or from exercise and physical therapy.

GenVisc 850 is administered by intra-articular injection by our own Dr. Ashley Olberg . Intra-articular means Dr. Olberg will insert a needle into the space in your joint that contains the joint fluid used for lubrication and cushioning.  The process is nearly painless as we using a numbing agent on the skin.  The treatment takes no more than 5-10 minutes.

Clinical investigations with GenVisc 850 have demonstrated that five injections one week apart provide optimal pain relief. Some patients have derived benefit following the 3^rd injection. We will monitor your pain level to determine the proper amount you may need.
