Hyaluronic Acid Injection Therapy in Brighton
Evidence-led joint pain relief from a Centre of Excellence
Joint pain can quietly take over your day, from the stairs and the dog walk to the sport you love. At Reach Physiotherapy we offer hyaluronic acid injections as a non-surgical way to ease pain and help you move with more confidence. We are proud to be a certified Joint Pain Freedom Centre of Excellence, which means we follow clear clinical standards for training, product sourcing and safe delivery.
Every treatment plan starts with a proper assessment, and an injection is only ever one part of it. For many people it works best alongside physiotherapy and a rehab plan built around their goals.
What is hyaluronic acid and how does it help?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural, gel-like substance found in the fluid that surrounds your joints. It lubricates the joint and absorbs shock. With age or osteoarthritis the quality of this fluid can decline, which can leave joints feeling stiff, sore and swollen.
A hyaluronic acid injection tops up that natural lubrication. The aim is smoother, more comfortable movement and, over time, less reliance on pain relief.
The injection options we offer
- Cingal: a hybrid injection that combines hyaluronic acid with a fast-acting anti-inflammatory component, usually considered for knee osteoarthritis. [Clinic to confirm wording]
- Monovisc: a long-acting hyaluronic acid injection given as a single treatment. It suits people whose joint pain is limiting their daily routine, exercise or confidence.
- Orthovisc: a hyaluronic acid injection that may also be suitable for smaller joints, such as the hand, wrist or toe. [Clinic to confirm joints]
Who may benefit?
- osteoarthritis or joint wear in the knee, hip, shoulder or ankle
- pain that builds with movement, or ongoing stiffness
- discomfort that has not fully settled with physiotherapy alone
They may also suit you if you want to stay active, put off or avoid surgery, or rely less on pain medication.
Other ways we can support your joints
Where it helps, we can also recommend compression and bracing for pain, swelling or instability, and cryo compression therapy to calm pain and swelling. Your physiotherapist will only suggest what is right for you.
What to expect
Assessment: We review your symptoms, medical history and how the joint is moving, then confirm whether an injection is suitable.
The injection: Your practitioner, [name], delivers the treatment into the joint using a sterile technique. The injection itself takes only a few minutes.
Aftercare: You can usually carry on with everyday activities straight away. We may advise avoiding high-impact activity for a day or two, and we will give you exercises to help you get the most from your treatment.
