Precision Matters: Fluoroscopy-Guided Injections
Not all gel injections are created equal. Our physicians use fluoroscopy (live X-ray imaging) to guide every injection, ensuring the gel goes exactly where it's needed for maximum benefit.
- Pinpoint accuracy — gel delivered directly to the joint space
- Better outcomes — studies show image-guided injections are more effective
- Less discomfort — precise placement means reduced irritation
What's in the Gel? A Natural Solution
The gel used in knee injections is hyaluronic acid (HA) — a substance that occurs naturally in your body's joint fluid. It acts as a lubricant and shock absorber, providing cushioning between bones.
- FDA-approved — safe and clinically proven for knee osteoarthritis
- Restores cushioning — supplements your joint's depleted natural fluid
- Biocompatible — well-tolerated by the body with minimal side effects

Frequently Asked Questions About Gel Injections
The primary benefits of knee gel injections include: non-surgical pain relief, quick in-office procedures (about 30 minutes), minimal to no recovery time, long-lasting results (often 6+ months), and the potential to delay or avoid knee replacement surgery. The treatment uses hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your joints.
Many patients experience relief for 6 months or longer after completing their gel injection series. Some patients report benefits lasting up to a year. Results vary by individual, and the treatment can be repeated if needed. Our physicians will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific condition.
For many patients, gel injections offer significant benefits over surgery: no hospitalization, no lengthy recovery, no surgical risks, and preservation of your natural knee. They're especially beneficial for patients who want to delay or avoid knee replacement. However, treatment suitability depends on your specific condition, which our physicians will evaluate.
We use fluoroscopy (live X-ray imaging) to guide every injection with pinpoint accuracy. Studies show image-guided injections are more effective than "blind" injections. Our board-certified physicians have performed 400K+ procedures, and we accept Medicare and most insurance plans.
Many patients have successfully delayed or avoided knee replacement surgery through gel injection therapy. By restoring cushioning fluid to the joint, gel injections can relieve pain and improve function, potentially eliminating the need for surgical intervention. Our physicians will assess whether you're a candidate during your consultation.
One of the biggest benefits of gel injections is minimal downtime. Most patients return to their normal activities the same day. There's no need for crutches, walkers, or physical therapy. Some patients experience mild soreness at the injection site, which typically resolves within 24-48 hours.
