What is Hyaluronic Acid
and How Can it Help?
Naturally Restore Joint Lubrication for Pain Relief
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in synovial fluid, which is responsible for lubricating and cushioning the joints. As we age or if the joints are overused or injured, the natural production of hyaluronic acid changes amount and viscosity. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Ostenil® Plus and Durolane
Ostenil® Plus and Durolane are hyaluronic acid-based injections that replenish the natural fluid in the joints, restoring lubrication and cushioning. By reducing friction between the bones, these injections provide pain relief and help improve joint movement, especially for those suffering from osteoarthritis or age-related joint changes.
Ostenil Plus: A lighter lubricant, ideal for newer joint issues that need relief from stiffness and restricted movement.
Durolane: A more robust lubricant with a higher molecular weight and more molecular crosslinks, providing long-lasting relief for worn or damaged joint surfaces.
By restoring the balance between the breakdown and production of joint fluid, hyaluronic acid helps reduce pain and inflammation, making it an effective treatment for various joint conditions.
How It Works
A Targeted Solution to Address Both Inflammation
In many cases, hyaluronic acid injections are combined with a steroid to provide immediate relief from inflammation and swelling. While steroids help reduce inflammation quickly, hyaluronic acid provides long-term benefits by addressing the mechanical aspect of joint function. The combination ensures that inflammation is controlled, while the joint surfaces are protected and healed.
Over time, hyaluronic acid works to improve joint function by preventing further breakdown of cartilage, reducing pain, and enhancing the cushioning effect, which helps maintain joint health. This treatment works gradually, providing relief over the course of a few weeks and lasting for several months.
Immediate Relief: Steroids tackle inflammation right away, allowing you to feel better quickly. Hyaluronic acid works over 48hours - 10days
Medium-Term Joint Protection: Hyaluronic acid protects the joint and prolongs its function by restoring lubrication and reducing further wear.
Single Injection, Lasting Benefits
A Convenient, Cost-Effective Solution for Medium-Term Joint Care
Hyaluronic acid injections are now more accessible and affordable than ever. Originally requiring multiple injections, it is now possible to receive a single injection that provides long-lasting relief. This more efficient treatment option is ideal for individuals looking for an effective solution that doesn’t break the bank, and it’s no longer reserved for elite athletes. Anyone can benefit from this transformative treatment, improving joint function and reducing pain.
Ostenil Plus: Relief that lasts for up to 9 months.
Durolane: Provides even longer-lasting relief, with effects lasting up to 15 months.
By delivering the treatment as a single injection, the process is made simpler and less expensive, making it more accessible to a wider range of people.
What is Osteoarthritis?
Understanding the Condition & How Hyaluronic Acid Can Help
Osteoarthritis is a common joint condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the cartilage that cushions the bones within a joint wears away, causing the bones to rub together, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness. The knee joint is one of the most affected areas, although other joints like the hips, shoulders, and spine can also experience osteoarthritis.
The exact cause of osteoarthritis is unknown, but factors such as genetics, injury, and overuse contribute to its development. While there is no permanent cure for osteoarthritis, treatments have focused on managing the symptoms through lifestyle changes, medications, physical therapy, and ultimately, joint replacement surgery.
Hyaluronic acid injections, however, offer an effective medium -term alternative to surgical treatments by helping to restore lubrication to the joint, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility.

Technical Overview: How It Works
Understanding the Science Behind Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in synovial fluid, playing a vital role in lubricating joints and providing cushioning. Over time, the natural levels of hyaluronic acid in the joints decrease due to age or injury, leading to increased friction, pain, and stiffness.
High Molecular Weight
Injected Hyaluronic acid’s large molecular structure ensures it stays in the joint longer, providing prolonged pain relief and better lubrication.
Single Injection
Say goodbye to multiple injections! Our single-dose treatment is cost-effective and convenient for patients.
medium term Relief
Benefits begin within weeks and last up to 9 months with Ostenil® Plus or 15 months with Durolane®.

Why Use Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS)?
Improved Accuracy and Outcomes for Joint Injections
To ensure the most precise and effective treatment, we use Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS). This advanced diagnostic tool helps identify issues present, guide injections to the correct location within the joint, enables draining of swelling, ultimately optimizing accuracy and improving results.
Precision in Small Spaces
Joints like the shoulder bursae or hip require precision to ensure the injection hits the target. Ultrasound ensures the needle is accurately placed.
Deep Tissue Access
Some joints and tendons, such as the hip joint or hamstring tendon, are too deep to reach without guidance.
Accurate Diagnosis
POCUS helps to distinguish between conditions like Achilles tendinopathy and retrocalcaneal bursitis, ensuring the correct treatment is provided.
Using POCUS enhances the effectiveness of your treatment, allowing for better outcomes and a more comfortable experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in the body, primarily found in joint fluid, skin, and connective tissues. It acts as a lubricant and shock absorber in the joints, helping them move smoothly while protecting the cartilage from wear and tear.
The Hyaluronic acid used at Rebound physio is synthetic and derived from biofermentation. This eliminates avian allergens and chance of adverse events and is safe for vegans..
IAHA involves injecting hyaluronic acid directly into the joint to restore lubrication, improve shock absorption, and reduce pain and stiffness in conditions like osteoarthritis. It mimics the body’s natural synovial fluid, which deteriorates in arthritis.
Yes, hyaluronic acid injections are safe and well-tolerated for most patients. The procedure is performed under sterile conditions and may be guided by ultrasound for precision. Some patients may experience transient mild discomfort, swelling, or stiffness after the injection with the higher molecular weight HA Durolane as the body explores this this new HA, but these effects are temporary.
Not all HA formulations are the same. The molecular weight (MW) of hyaluronic acid plays a crucial role in its effectiveness:
- Low MW HA penetrates deeper and may promote anti-inflammatory effects.
- High MW HA provides better joint lubrication and cushioning but may not last as long.
- Cross-linked HA lasts longer in the joint, providing sustained relief.
Your doctor will select the most suitable formulation based on your condition.
Hyaluronic acid injections are commonly used for:
- Osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder, and other joints)
- Cartilage degeneration
- Joint stiffness and pain
- Post-surgical recovery
- Sports injuries
Hyaluronic acid helps protect cartilage by reducing inflammation, preventing cartilage breakdown, and maintaining a healthy joint environment.
Proteoglycans are essential components of cartilage. Hyaluronic acid injections help stimulate their production, improving cartilage structure and resilience.
Hyaluronic acid can reduce inflammation by suppressing pro-inflammatory molecules (like cytokines) and increasing anti-inflammatory mediators, leading to pain relief.
HA enhances the viscosity and elasticity of joint fluid, improving lubrication and reducing friction between bones, which minimizes pain and stiffness.
Recent studies suggest that hyaluronic acid may positively impact bone health by promoting bone remodeling and reducing stress on subchondral bone, which lies beneath the cartilage.
