Is hyaluronic acid injection suitable for sports injury or knee osteoarthritis?

Doctor’s answer

Hyaluronic acid is mainly used for selected patients with knee osteoarthritis or degenerative joint pain, aiming to improve lubrication and short-term symptoms. It should not replace strength training, weight management, and load modification. Acute ligament, meniscus, or infection-related problems need a clear diagnosis first.
