Synovial fluid provides a cushion and acts as a shock absorber for our joints. When arthritis affects our joints, this healthy viscous fluid becomes thin and no longer provides that cushion. This causes pain and discomfort during activity; sometimes even walking can be painful. Viscosupplementation is a process by which the active compound found in our synovial fluid is injected into our joints to replace the diseased fluid. These joint lubricants have been proven to cause immediate pain relief. Be one of the thousands to experience months of pain relief with Synvisc One!
