What Are Hyaluronic Acid Injections…And Why Are They Popular?
Hyaluronic acid injections (sometimes called “gel shots” or viscosupplementation) are designed to replenish the lubrication and cushion inside the knee joint. Naturally present in healthy synovial fluid, hyaluronic acid enables painless, friction-free movement. Age, wear-and-tear, or osteoarthritis deplete this vital lubricant, leading to:
- Grinding or creaking sensations in the knee
- Persistent pain on movement or at rest
- Stiffness, inflammation, and swelling
- Difficulty walking, working, or exercising
By injecting pure, medical-grade hyaluronic acid directly into the affected knee, you can:
- Restore joint lubrication for smoother motion
- Reduce pain and inflammation often for several months
- Support shock absorption and natural cushioning
- Move more freely and confidently, day to day
Who Benefits Most from Hyaluronic Acid Injections?
- Mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis
- When oral anti-inflammatories, physio, braces, and steroid injections have not given lasting relief
- Individuals seeking to delay or avoid knee replacement surgery
- Patients hoping to reduce dependence on daily painkillers
- Those with allergies or sensitivities to other conservative treatments
- People desiring a straightforward, walk-in/walk-out therapy with minimal side effects

How Does the Process Work at Portland Chiropractic Wolverhampton?
- Pre-Procedure Assessment
- Thorough examination of your knee pain history, movement restrictions, and response to prior therapies (physio, painkillers, etc.)
- Honest discussion: If you are a candidate, or whether alternative therapies or referral is better
- Injection Session
- Skin is cleaned; local anaesthetic may be used for your comfort
- A fine needle injects the hyaluronic acid under ultrasound guidance (where appropriate) for accuracy
- The session usually takes only a few minutes
- Follow-up Plan
- Some see dramatic improvement after a single shot
- Others benefit most from a series (often weekly over 3-5 weeks)
- You will receive personal advice and support throughout
- Fast Recovery
- Patients usually resume normal activity the same day, though high-impact exercise is best avoided for 48 hours

Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Knee Injections for Wolverhampton Patients
- Longer-Lasting Relief
- Unlike quick-fix steroid injections, pain relief often lasts up to six months or more. Effects are gradual but substantial for most — improving steadily over weeks rather than fading quickly.
- Movement Without Medication
- Reduce your reliance on daily painkillers and their potential digestive and heart risks
- Support for Natural Repair
- By restoring joint fluidity, your body can move, load, and rehabilitate more effectively — paving the way for further improvement through physiotherapy or gentle exercise
- Non-Surgical and Convenient
- No hospital, no general anaesthesia, and no extended recovery window
- Ideal for “In-Betweeners”
- If you are not ready for, or wish to delay, surgery but find oral medications insufficient — this is the ideal middle path for many patients
Are There Any Side Effects? What Should I Expect?
Hyaluronic injections are generally very well tolerated. The small risks include:
- Mild soreness, swelling, or warmth at the injection site — typically gone after a day or two
- Temporary knee stiffness (rare)
- Allergic reactions — rare, but always let your provider know of known sensitivities
Our team is rigorously trained in sterile technique, patient selection, and aftercare advice to reduce all risks.
How to Maximise & Maintain the Benefits of Your Hyaluronic Injection
- Follow Movement and Rehab Guidelines
- Participate in guided strengthening or mobility exercises as recommended by your clinician
- Minimise high-impact or twisting activities immediately after your session
- Keep Knee Weight Down
- If you are above your ideal weight, even moderate weight loss can dramatically boost long-term results
- Monitor Your Progress
- Track symptoms and activity levels, and contact the clinic for top-ups or repeat injections as needed (usually at six months or based on advice)
- Address the Whole Body
- Complement your injections with posture correction, joint-friendly nutrition, and adjunctive therapies like SoftWave Shock Therapy for stubborn, complex pain
Tip: Consistency is key. The more you maintain good habits and keep up with follow-up recommendations, the longer your pain-free movements will last!
