Hyaluronic Acid Injection Therapy in Brighton
Non-surgical pain relief for knee, hip and shoulder joints
What Is Hyaluronic Acid and How Does It Help?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring gel-like substance found in the fluid that surrounds your joints. Its role is to lubricate, cushion, and absorb shock during movement.
As we age — or when a joint is affected by osteoarthritis — the natural hyaluronic acid in the joint can break down, causing:
- Stiffness
- Pain
- Swelling
- Reduced mobility
What Conditions Can Hyaluronic Acid Injections Help With?
- Osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder, or ankle)
- Joint pain made worse by movement
- Stiffness or reduced mobility
- Early to moderate cartilage wear
- Discomfort that hasn’t responded fully to physiotherapy alone
- Delay or avoid joint surgery
- Reduce reliance on pain medication
- Stay active, walk comfortably, or return to sport

What to Expect During Treatment
Assessment & Consultation
One of our physiotherapists will assess your symptoms, medical history, and joint function to ensure this treatment is appropriate for you.
Injection Procedure
The injection is delivered directly into the affected joint using a small, sterile needle. The procedure is quick, typically taking only a few minutes.
Aftercare
You may be advised to avoid high-impact activity for 24–48 hours, but most everyday activities can continue as normal. Your physiotherapist will guide you on exercises or supportive treatment to enhance long-term benefit.
