Question 1

What is Euflexxa?

Accepted Answer

Euflexxa is a hyaluronic acid injection designed to mimic the body’s natural joint fluid. It lubricates and cushions the joint, relieving pain and improving mobility. Beyond mechanical support, Euflexxa has demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects, cartilage protection, and can stimulate the body’s own production of hyaluronic acid — helping to slow the progression of OA.

Question 2

Who is Euflexxa Suitable For?

Accepted Answer

Euflexxa is ideal for patients with:
-Mild to moderate osteoarthritis who have not responded to physiotherapy or oral pain
medications

-Chronic OA, including patients who are not candidates for cortisone injections (e.g.
those with uncontrolled diabetes)

-Joint pain in the knee, hip, ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow, or wrist
Euflexxa may also be used in conjunction with cortisone for long-term OA management.

Question 3

Treatment Process

Accepted Answer

Administered as a series of three injections, spaced one to two weeks apart
- Performed by our expert radiologists under precise image guidance (Ultrasound or
CT)
- Minimal downtime with most patients resuming normal activities shortly after
treatment (abstaining from physical exertion and excessive activity immediately post
treatment).

Question 4

Why Choose Euflexxa?

Accepted Answer

Compared to cortisone and single-dose similar products, Euflexxa offers:
-Longer-lasting symptom relief due to its multi-dose regimen
-Higher safety profile with fewer systemic side effects
-Improved joint retention time, resulting in more sustained benefit
-Non-animal origin, reducing the risk of allergic reaction

Question 5
