2- Pain treatment by different therapists:

3- Pain treatment by:

• ice
• acetaminophen (Tylenol)
• anti-inflammatories
• cortisone injections and viscosupplement injection (Durolane, Suplasyn, Ostenil, Synvisc and now SynviscOne in a single injection). This is a treatment specially designed for the joints. Viscosupplementation is a recognized therapy against pain and joint stiffness associated with light to moderate arthrosis. The first mode of action of viscosupplementation is direct filling of the joint with a lubricating substance called hyaluronic acid. All of your body’s joints are lubricated with hyaluronic acid (HA). When arthrosis sets in, this natural lubricant is no longer as effective. It becomes very liquid due to inflammation and no longer protects your joint. Viscosupplementation allows injection of a viscous product that protects your articulation and reduces pain.
• PRP (Platelets Rich Plasma)

4- Suplasyn is the only viscosupplement that can be injected in the small joints, such as the toes and fingers
