If you’ve been dealing with chronic knee pain, there’s a good chance your orthopedic doctor has recommended gel injections — also known as viscosupplementation or hyaluronic acid injections. These are designed to cushion the joint and reduce pain, particularly in those with knee osteoarthritis.

But do they really work?

At Fix Your Pain Charleston, Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson has helped hundreds of patients find long-term relief from chronic and even “bone-on-bone” knee arthritis without the need for injections, medications, or surgery — thanks to a breakthrough technology called SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy.

Let’s break it down.

What Are Gel Injections, and What Do They Claim to Do?

Gel injections are intended to mimic the natural synovial fluid found inside your knee joint. They are often used to treat mild to moderate osteoarthritis, with the goal of:

• Lubricating the joint

• Absorbing shock

• Reducing pain and stiffness

• Improving joint mobility

These injections are typically given once a week for three to five weeks and may offer temporary relief for some patients.

The Truth About Gel Injections: What You Should Know

Many patients report only modest improvement — if any — and results can vary dramatically. Research has shown that gel injections may not be significantly more effective than a placebo for many people.

Limitations of Gel Injections:

• Temporary symptom relief (often just weeks or a few months)

• Do not address the root cause of joint degeneration

• No regenerative benefit to cartilage, tendons, ligaments, or bone

• May need to be repeated regularly

• Often still lead to surgery down the road

• Expensive and sometimes not covered by insurance

If you’re looking for more than just a short-term patch, there’s a better way.

A Better Solution for Knee Pain: SoftWave Therapy

How SoftWave Works: The Science of Healing

SoftWave uses a patented broad focused acoustic wave to reach deep into joints and tissues to stimulate healing at the cellular level. This treatment initiates a process called mechanotransduction, which kicks off a cascade of beneficial biological effects:

Cellular and Tissue-Level Benefits of SoftWave:

• Activates resident stem cells for joint and tissue repair

• Promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) and improved circulation

• Stimulates growth factors like VEGF and eNOS

• Modulates and reduces chronic inflammation

• Enhances mitochondrial activity (the energy powerhouses of your cells)

• Breaks down scar tissue and improves joint mobility

• Aids in cartilage and connective tissue regeneration

• Reduces pain, swelling, and stiffness

Unlike gel injections, SoftWave Therapy promotes actual healing and regeneration — not just lubrication and temporary relief.
