Did you hear about Dr. Sumitz’s new non-surgical-based treatment that won’t let you suffer from knee replacement surgery? If in your home there are older individuals who are suffering from chronic knee pain and the doctor recommends surgery, then you are in the right place.
The introduction of viscous gel injection in Dr. Sumitz's orthopaedic clinic in Pune improves the knee conditions of the individuals. This procedure is simple, requires no downtime, and the patient can move back to a normal life. The orthopaedic experts inject the viscous fluid into the knee joints and create a lubricant that improves knee functioning. Reduces jerk motions, adds elasticity and viscosity to joints, and eliminates stiffness and pain.
In this blog, we are discussing more about “viscous gel injection” and its benefits and procedures in detail. Read further to learn more about it in detail.
Take a Glimpse Towards the Cons of Knee Replacement Surgery
Here are the following cons of knee replacement surgery:
- Surgical risks
Knee replacement surgery risks are absurd to overlook because of the infections, blood clots, and anaesthesia of an individual that affect the strength, mobility, and functioning of the body.
- Recovery Time
Once the knee replacement surgery occurs, the recovery time takes weeks or months, along with the rehabilitation and physiotherapy for the healing process. In this major time, patients need to have self-commitment for proper recovery.
- Pain and discomfort
Knee replacement surgery is quite a painful and discomforting experience for individuals, and replacing the natural knee with a prosthetic one takes a toll on the human body, including the pain and discomfort until the proper recovery.
- Cost
The knee replacement surgery procedure puts a heavy load on the wallet because it includes the best-recognised orthopaedic hospital, the cooperation of experts, and the necessary equipment for the whole procedure. The cost may vary depending on the situation and the time spent on it.
- Stiffness and swelling
The stiffness and swelling become common once we are done with the knee replacement procedures, and this creates a massive impact on our physical and emotional health.
- Nerve and blood vessel damage
In our body, every small nerve is connected to each other for better information-transmitting function. Once we exclude the internal organ, then the attached nerves and other blood vessels also get damaged altogether. This blood vessel and nerve damage lead to numbness, tingling, and other sensory issues in the leg.
- Limited range of motion
As you change the natural knee, it affects your mobility and the functioning of every part of the body. Due to the pain and stiffness in the bones and joints, the daily walk and even small movements take a toll on the daily lifestyle habits.
This knee replacement surgery comes with several physical, emotional, and mental health risks. Surgery is the last option when none of the other alternatives work better to handle the knee pain and worn-out knee issues.
But we have good news for you: Dr.Sumitz is introducing the best alternatives to knee replacement surgery. As technology evolves, it will improve your knee health conditions and bring your knees into a better state. Well, let’s understand this new, innovative, and non-surgical alternative.
Introducing “Viscous Gel Injections” For The Healthy Knee, Now At The Dr. Sumitz Clinic
In between our joints, a viscous fluid known as synovial fluid occurs that improves the functioning and mobility of the joints. This viscous gel helps to reduce friction and any kind of jerk during the movements.
But as we grow older, the consistency of the synovial fluid gets reduced in our bones and joints. The time also comes in an individual's life when the fluid becomes negligible, leading to pain and issues for the individual.
Let’s see the benefits of viscous gel injections instead of knee replacement surgery. -
- Joint lubrication
The viscous gel injection contains hylauronic acid-based gel, which acts as a lubricant that improves mobility and the functioning of joints.
- Pain relief
Viscous gel injections provide relief from bone and joint pain by cushioning and protecting the affected area. Pain may occur due to multiple reasons, and we have a one-stop solution in the form of viscous gel injections.
- Improved joint function
The pain during walking, sitting, and bending down—all issues—can be improved with the help of a viscous gel injection. As the fluid restores its viscosity and improves the elasticity of the bones and joints. This leads to smoother functioning of the body.
- Non-surgical option
Are you looking for a non-surgical option in place of knee replacement surgery? Then viscous gel injection is the best non-surgical option that will improve your bone and joint health without undergoing major surgery procedures.
- No side effects
Knee replacement surgery is a major risk because of the side effects after the procedure. But it is probably impossible when it comes to the viscous gel injections, and it improves the bone and health conditions for the overall well-being experience.'
Procedures for Viscous Gel Injection
Before heading towards the procedure, it is important to note that it is not a simple procedure and must be done under the supervision of experienced orthopaedic experts and the orthopaedic clinic or hospital.
The following are the steps and procedures that the medical facility's supervision must adhere to:
- Consultation
The treatment provider takes a quick call with the patient to learn about their current health conditions, suitability of viscous gel injections, and past medical history.
- Treatment process
The target joint needs to be cleansed, and using a fine, sterilised needle, the viscous gel is injected into the joint of the patient.
- Follow up
Once it is done, the doctor suggests some precautions that need to be taken and also takes a follow-up to assess the patient's situation.
- Recovery and rehabilitation
For recovery and rehabilitation, the patient needs to quit heavy lifting and other strenuous activities for some time. Physiotherapy and other motion activities promote speedy recovery and foster well-being.
