Knee Gel Injections in Melaka
Knee Gel Injections
Knee pain can be a daily struggle, making it difficult to walk, exercise, or even complete simple tasks. If you’re looking for pain relief without surgery, Klinik Liysha can help you with knee gel injections. This treatment lubricates and cushions your knee joint, reducing pain and improving mobility.
What Are Knee Gel Injections?
Knee gel injections involve injecting hyaluronic acid (HA) directly into the knee joint. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in joint fluid that helps with lubrication and shock absorption. In osteoarthritis, the natural HA in your knee breaks down, leading to stiffness and pain. By restoring this lost fluid, knee gel injections can help improve movement and reduce discomfort.

Who is Suitable for Knee Gel Injections?
This treatment is ideal for individuals experiencing:
- Mild to moderate osteoarthritis who want to delay surgery.
- Chronic knee pain that hasn’t responded to physical therapy or medications.
- Active individuals who need knee support for daily activities.
- Reduced mobility due to joint stiffness and discomfort.
Your doctor will assess your condition to determine if knee gel injections are right for you.
Risk Factors for Knee Pain
Knee pain can occur at any age and activity level, but certain factors can raise the risk of developing knee issues. Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and inflammatory bowel disease may also play a role in causing knee discomfort.
Age and Wear & Tear
As we age, the cartilage in our knees wears down. Osteoarthritis often develops in people over 50 years old, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Lacerated Wounds
Being overweight or obese puts extra pressure on your knees. Every 1kg of excess weight adds around 3–4 kg of extra force on your knee joints when walking.
Previous Knee Injuries
A history of knee injuries—such as ACL tears, meniscus injuries, or fractures—can make you more prone to chronic knee pain. Even if the injury has healed.
Imbalanced Muscles
Imbalanced muscles can lead to bad joint movement. Weak quadriceps or hamstrings can increase strain on the knee, raising the risk of pain .
High-Impact Activities
Certain sports and occupations can put stress on the knees. Extended periods can lead to overuse injuries, and even long-term joint damage.
Poor Posture and Footwear
Walking or exercising with poor posture can cause strain. Wearing unsupportive shoes can also contribute to knee discomfort.
What to Expect During the Knee Gel Injection
What to Expect During Your Visit
The process is quick, minimally invasive, and performed in a doctor’s office or clinic:
Preparation: The doctor cleans the area around your knee to prevent infection. In some cases, a local anesthetic may be applied to numb the injection site. If there is excess fluid in the joint, your doctor might first perform joint aspiration (removing fluid) to create space for the injection.
Injection: Using a fine needle, the doctor injects hyaluronic acid gel directly into the joint space. This gel mimics the natural synovial fluid, helping to lubricate and cushion the joint.
You may be advised to rest for the next 24 hours, avoiding high-impact activities such as running, jumping, or heavy lifting for a few days to allow the gel to settle in the joint.
When Can You Expect Relief?
Many patients start to feel relief within a few weeks after the injection, with the full benefits developing gradually. The effects can last anywhere from six months to a year, depending on the severity of the condition and individual response to treatment. Some people may require repeat injections to maintain long-term relief.
