New non-surgical therapy techniques for osteoarthritis (arthritis), which causes pain and restricted movement owing to the degeneration of cartilage structures on the joint surface, are available to patients. Intra-articular injectable applications that delay the progression of arthritis are one of the main therapy approaches that have lately gained worldwide acceptance.
Knee, hip, ankle, wrist, finger joints, shoulder joint and spine joints are the most common sites of arthritis. With arthritis, aches and pains occur.

Precautions taken against arthritis, which is generally more common in individuals over the age of 40, and current treatment methods slow down the progression of the disease and aim to improve the quality of life of patients for a long time without surgery, without the need to remove the joint and replace it with a prosthesis.
In addition to exercises, physiotherapy methods and medication, intra-articular injections are the treatment methods used to prevent patients with arthritis from proceeding to the final stage of prosthetic surgery or to postpone surgery as long as possible. Intra-articular injections, which can only be administered to patients by musculoskeletal system specialists; Orthopedics, Physical Therapy and Algelogy with a special technique, relieves the patient by replacing the deteriorated joint fluid.
