MONOVISC NJECTIONS IN HAMPSHIRE

At Alton Pain Clinic, Monovisc is offered as part of our specialist approach to managing osteoarthritis. This treatment is used to support joint lubrication and function in patients experiencing pain and reduced mobility.

Monovisc Injections

Monovisc® is a viscosupplement injection containing a gel-like form of highly purified hyaluronic acid. It is designed to supplement and replace the natural hyaluronic acid found within the synovial fluid of a healthy joint.

In osteoarthritis, the natural hyaluronic acid within the joint becomes depleted, leading to reduced lubrication, increased friction, and impaired joint function. Monovisc® helps restore these properties by improving the quality of synovial fluid, supporting better cushioning and smoother joint movement.
