Options Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Centers Offering New Treatment for Knee Pain and Arthritis

Hyalgan injections help osteoarthritis sufferers safely, naturally

NUTLEY, NJ, December 29, 2011

Options Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Centers, in Nutley, NJ, is now offering Hyalgan injections to alleviate pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee. Hyalgan is a safe and natural injection for osteoarthritic knee joint pain sufferers who have not found relief with other forms of treatment. It has no serious side effects.

Patients have reported up to six months of knee pain relief following the Hyalgan injection, which can be repeated safely.

"We have seen how debilitating osteoarthritis can be," said Dr. Diego Ruiz, CEO/founder, of Options Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Centers. "Hyalgan injections help patients who have not responded to other treatments. And they don't have to be concerned with drug interactions and major side effects."

Hyalgan is natural and is injected directly into the knee, providing relief to patients with osteoarthritic knee joint pain who have not responded to other forms of treatment such as pain medication, exercise, or physical therapy. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis and joint condition.

Hyalgan is not a drug. Its main component is a natural derivative called hyaluronan, which relieves pain by lubricating and cushioning the knee joint. Hyalgan does not enter the bloodstream, so it does not cause stomach upset or bleeding, and does not affect the kidneys or liver and interfere with other medications.
