Hyaluronic Acid (Gel) Injections For Knee Pain in St. Louis MO

Like WD-40 for Your Knees—But Better

If your knee feels stiff, creaky, or painful—especially when going up stairs or getting up from a chair—it’s often because the natural “lubricant” inside the joint has worn down over time. Think of hyaluronic acid injections like WD-40 for your knees: they help reduce friction, smooth out movement, and quiet the grinding and stiffness that come with arthritis and degeneration. If are struggling with chronic pain in St. Louis MO, give us a call today to learn more.

At the Back and Knee Center, we use HA injections as part of a larger knee program designed not just to “oil the joint,” but to strengthen and balance the entire lower body, ensuring that relief is long-lasting—not just a temporary fix.

What Are Hyaluronic Acid Injections?

Hyaluronic acid is a substance your body naturally produces to help keep your joints smooth and shock-absorbing. In arthritis and chronic knee conditions, this lubricant breaks down, leaving joints stiff, inflamed, and painful. HA injections restore this lost cushioning to:

• Reduce friction and grinding
• Improve shock absorption
• Decrease inflammation and swelling
• Enhance smooth and natural knee movement

We use trusted products like Supartz, Euflexxa, Orthovisc, Gelsyn, and more, depending on your needs and insurance coverage.

More Than Just a Lubricant — We Fix the Entire System

While gel injections play an important role, we don't just treat the joint—we address the entire lower extremity. Your knees don’t function in isolation. If your hips, ankles, or muscles aren’t working properly, the knee will take the hit, no matter how well-lubricated it is.

As part of our comprehensive knee program, we combine HA injections with:

• Knee decompression therapy to reduce pressure inside the joint
• Targeted rehab and strengthening to stabilize and protect the knee
• Gait and movement correction to improve how your whole lower body functions

This approach helps ensure that HA injections aren't just a band-aid, but a powerful tool in creating lasting pain relief and preventing further breakdown.
