There are many treatment options for osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. When you are first diagnosed, your doctor will likely recommend diet, exercise and oral medications. If you don’t receive adequate pain relief, other options such as SYNVISC may be able to help.
| Treatment |
Description |
| SYNVISC |
Provides up to 6 months of OA knee pain relief with just 3 injections, 1 week apart. |
| Over-the-counter and prescription oral medication |
Daily relief from mild to moderate OA knee pain may be provided by over-the-counter medications like Tylenol®, Aleve® and prescription medications like Celebrex®. |
| Steroid injection |
Provides several weeks of OA knee pain relief with one injection, which reduces inflammation but does not lubricate the knee joint. |
| Surgery |
Extended relief from severe joint pain may be provided with arthroscopic surgery or knee replacement when other treatments have stopped providing adequate relief. |
