What is kneeVitality?
kneeVitality is an injection of a proprietary blend of medicines including hyluronan. Hyluronan was approved by the FDA in 1997 for viscosupplementation. The procedure, called viscosupplementation, injects a preparation of propritary medicine into the knee joint. kneeVitality is a naturally occurring substance found in the synovial (joint) fluid. It acts as a lubricant to enable bones to move smoothly over each other and as a shock absorber for joint loads.

What is visosupplementation?
Visosupplementation is the injection of fluids into a joint to alleviate and repair damage done to the knee through wear and tear. An analogy can be made between greasing joints on a car or bike and visosupplementation of the knee. The main difference is that kneeVitality treatments help the knee repair itself.

After time the natural lubrication in the joint wears down. kneeVitality restores this lubrication creating a natural shock absorption which not only helps reduce pain but also repairs the knee.

Is this safe?
Yes. kneeVitality treatments are safe.
