Chronic knee pain ranges from uncomfortable to debilitating. It can interfere with your ability to walk, run, climb steps, ride a bike, and even play with your kids. Fortunately, Supartz™ injections lubricate knee joints, improving your range of motion and reducing pain. Talk with your doctor to learn about the advantages of this treatment.

3 Benefits of Supartz Treatment for Knee Pain

Fast & Comfortable Procedure

Supartz injections are made with purified hyaluronan harvested humanely from chicken combs to bolster the quality of the synovial fluid in joints. Although it might sound painful to have a substance injected into your knee, your doctor will numb the area with a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. A small amount of poor-quality synovial fluid will be removed from the knee and replaced with an injection of the Supartz solution. The process takes less than 10 minutes and most patients experience little irritation.

Simple Recovery 

Unlike complicated knee operations, the recovery from Supartz injections is simple. After you receive your injections, you must avoid activities that put stress on the knees for up to 48 hours, such as jogging, weightlifting, sports, and standing for extended periods. If you have injection-site pain, an over-the-counter medication and ice can provide relief. You should be ready to resume normal activities after this brief recovery period.  

Safe & Effective Treatment

Supartz injections have been around since 1987 and over 143 million injections have been administered. Because of their long-term use, they have been studied extensively and found to be very safe. Additionally, Supartz is the only injectable treatment proven to relieve knee pain for up to 12 months, making it possible for you to move freely and comfortably.
