Hi there,
The use of local anaesthetics for procedures of visco-supplementation injections like Synvisc can be used, but are not always necessary. It is mostly dependent on the clinician's experience in performing the procedure, as well as the patient's preference. In experienced hands, local anaesthesia is generally not required.
