Dr. Alexander Myasnikov revealed why injections of hyaluronic acid and other substances into the joints are absolutely useless.
Myasnikov points out that, according to the European and American traumatology societies and many doctors, hyaluronic acid injections are no more effective than placebo. Their effect is short-term, usually no more than 6-8 weeks, and is limited to eliminating dryness in the joint, but they do not heal the joint, and the disease continues to develop. This also applies to injections of stem cells and adipose tissue, as well as enriched plasma transfusions, because these methods cannot change the structure of the joint or cure osteoarthritis.
According to him, anyone suffering from joint pain or osteoporosis should know that no one will help them. Because the disease is caused by a long-term unhealthy lifestyle: poor nutrition, lack of exercise, smoking, excess weight.
Myasnikov advises that to maintain healthy joints, one should follow a healthy lifestyle from a young age, monitor weight, exercise, eat right and avoid bad habits.
