Dr. Dan Kendall is an interventional Pain Management Specialist at National Spine and Pain Centers in McLean, Virginia. Recognized by Washingtonian Magazine as a Top Doctor in 2015, 2016 and 2017, Dr. Daniel (Dan) Kendall is experienced in non-surgical pain management treatments including viscosupplementation.
An inadequate amount of the lubricating fluid in the knees and other joints can lead to significant pain and swelling over time. Viscosupplementation involves the injection of hyaluronic acid into the joints to replenish the joint’s normal lubricating fluid. The treatment helps reduce pain by easing the stress that aging and repetitive physical tasks put on the body's cartilage and joints.
Depending on the patient, the injections may vary from a one-time treatment to a course of treatment over three to five weeks. After each injection, patients need to avoid physical activity for two days before resuming their normal routine. After the treatment, patients report less pain and stiffness for periods of up to six months and reduced reliance on pain medications.
