At the same time, they promote the regeneration of cartilage tissue.Furthermore, they are believed to have an anti-inflammatory effect. As a result, there is a reduction in pain, swelling and improved joint mobility. The greatest success is achieved by injecting chondroprotectants directly into … Hip Osteoarthritis (Coxarthrosis): Cartilage-Protective Agents (Chondroprotectants)
