What will be injected into my joint?

The most common agents we offer are PRP (also known as platelet rich plasma and involves drawing your own blood, removing on the plasma and injecting it into the joint space) and HA (also known as hyaluronic acid and is a large polysaccharide that is already naturally occuring in the body). However, care is very individualized and your provider will make recommendations based on your x-rays and physical examination.
