FAQs

Our treatment program is covered by Medicare and most major insurance carriers. If you like we can take your insurance information over the phone so that we can perform a complimentary verification of your benefits.

Based on your condition, we utilize an FDA approved product that goes by various brand names including GenVisc, Supartz, Orthovisc, or Synvisc. This substance is similar to the natural lubricant in your knee and can be used to replace the fluids which you may have lost over time or due to injury.

If you’ve had these done by an orthopedist, chances are they did the procedure blindly, meaning without x-ray guidance. We use a new technology called fluoroscopic guidance that allows us to see into your knee in real time, which allows the doctor to see the needle travel directly where it needs to go. If your past doctor did not use this technology how can you be sure the lubricant actually got to where it needed to be?

Although the length of our treatment plans vary based upon your condition, most patients require a series of 3-5 injections. The doctor can explain the necessary frequency of your treatment during your risk-free, no-cost consultation.

This varies by patient, as no two cases are exactly the same. That said, most patients experience relief almost immediately after the first injection.

This depends on your condition. For many patients relief lasts years, while others may need to return periodically for additional treatments. Most insurance carriers allow for two courses of injections per year in the event your pain returns.

There are no known side effects or adverse drug interactions associated with the use of joint fluid therapy. That said, please make sure your doctor is aware of any known allergies or any adverse reactions to medication.

No. You would not be a candidate if you’ve had joint replacement surgery on both knees. If, however, you’ve only had one knee replaced, we may still be able to help you with the other knee.

I understand your frustration, however there is hope. We frequently see patients that have been told their only option is “to learn to live with the pain”. We have been able to help many find relief. The doctor can review your particular case and determine what, if anything, we can do to help. There is no-cost or obligation for this consultation.
