Hyaluronic Acid Injection Therapy
Hyaluronic acid injection therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to help reduce joint pain, improve mobility and support joint function.
Commonly used for osteoarthritis and degenerative joint conditions, hyaluronic acid acts as a lubricant and shock absorber within the joint, helping movement become more comfortable.
Following a detailed ultrasound-guided assessment, Dr Bjarni Eyvindsson will determine whether treatment is appropriate and develop a personalised management plan. Hyaluronic acid injections can be used in both small and large joints and are often combined with rehabilitation to support longer-term joint health and function.

What is Hyaluronic Acid Injection Therapy?
Hyaluronic acid injection therapy is a treatment used to help manage joint pain, stiffness and reduced mobility caused by osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint conditions.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found within healthy joint fluid, where it helps lubricate and cushion the joint during movement. As arthritis develops, the quality and quantity of this fluid can reduce, leading to pain, stiffness and reduced function.
Following a detailed ultrasound-guided assessment, hyaluronic acid can be injected directly into the affected joint to help improve lubrication, reduce friction and support smoother movement.
Treatment is commonly used in the knee, ankle, hip, shoulder and smaller joints of the foot. Hyaluronic acid injections are often recommended for patients looking to remain active, delay surgery or improve mobility alongside physiotherapy and rehabilitation.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some of the most commonly asked questions from patients relating to hyaluronic acid injection therapy.
What is a hyaluronic acid injection?
A hyaluronic acid injection is a treatment used to improve joint lubrication and reduce pain associated with osteoarthritis and joint degeneration. It is sometimes referred to as viscosupplementation and is commonly used to help improve movement and comfort.
What conditions can hyaluronic acid injections treat?
Hyaluronic acid injections are most commonly used for osteoarthritis and degenerative joint conditions. Treatment may be suitable for painful knees, ankles, hips, shoulders and smaller joints affected by cartilage wear and joint stiffness.
How does hyaluronic acid help arthritis?
Hyaluronic acid acts as a lubricant and shock absorber within the joint. By improving the quality of the joint fluid, treatment may help reduce friction, improve mobility and make everyday activities more comfortable.
Are hyaluronic acid injections ultrasound guided?
Yes. At our clinic, treatment is performed following a detailed ultrasound-guided assessment. Ultrasound imaging helps identify the affected joint structures and allows accurate placement of the injection.
How long does a hyaluronic acid injection take to work?
Many patients begin noticing improvements within a few weeks, although results vary depending on the severity of arthritis and the joint being treated. Benefits may continue to develop over several weeks following treatment.
How long do hyaluronic acid injections last?
The duration of benefit varies between patients. Many people experience improved comfort and mobility for several months following treatment, although outcomes depend on the severity of joint degeneration and activity levels.
Can hyaluronic acid injections delay joint replacement surgery?
For some patients, hyaluronic acid injections can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life, potentially delaying the need for joint replacement surgery. Suitability will depend on the severity of arthritis and individual circumstances.
Are hyaluronic acid injections painful?
Most patients tolerate treatment very well. A small amount of discomfort may be experienced during the injection, but ultrasound guidance helps improve accuracy and minimise irritation.
Who is suitable for hyaluronic acid injection therapy?
Patients with osteoarthritis, joint stiffness, cartilage degeneration or persistent joint pain that has not responded fully to physiotherapy, exercise or other conservative treatments may benefit from assessment for hyaluronic acid injection therapy.
What happens during a hyaluronic acid injection appointment?
Your appointment includes a clinical consultation, ultrasound-guided assessment and discussion of treatment options with Dr Bjarni Eyvindsson. If appropriate, the injection can often be administered during the same visit, followed by advice on rehabilitation and ongoing joint management.
