Understanding Supartz: A Natural Solution for Arthritis

Supartz is a hyaluronic acid-based injection therapy designed to treat osteoarthritis in various joints, including the ankle and foot. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component found in the synovial fluid of healthy joints, providing essential lubrication and cushioning that allows for smooth, pain-free movement. Discover the wealth of benefits that receiving Supartz injections in Newport Beach offers.

How Does Supartz Work?  

In arthritic conditions, the hyaluronic acid in the joints can become depleted, leading to pain and stiffness. Supartz works by replenishing this crucial lubricant, restoring the joint's natural cushioning. The injection helps reduce pain, improve joint function, and may even slow the progression of arthritis by enhancing the joint's overall health.

The Benefits of Supartz Injections in Newport Beach

  • Pain Relief: Supartz injections are effective in alleviating the discomfort associated with osteoarthritis and providing relief from chronic joint pain.
  • Non-Surgical Option: For those looking to avoid surgery, Supartz offers a minimally invasive alternative for managing arthritis symptoms. This treatment allows you to maintain an active lifestyle without the risks and recovery time associated with surgery.
  • Improved Mobility: By enhancing joint lubrication, Supartz injections can significantly improve your ability to move, making it easier to perform daily activities without the burden of pain.
  • Quick and Convenient Procedure: Supartz injections are quick and can be performed in our office, making them convenient for busy individuals. The entire process typically takes only a few minutes, and you can return to your normal activities soon after.

Is Supartz Right for You?

Supartz injections may be an ideal option if you:  

  • Suffer from moderate to severe osteoarthritis in the ankle or foot.  
  • Have not found sufficient relief from other conservative treatments such as physical therapy, oral medications, or lifestyle changes.  
  • Are looking for a non-surgical method to manage arthritis and improve your quality of life.

During your consultation at our Newport Beach office, one of our experienced podiatrists will thoroughly evaluate your condition and medical history to determine if Supartz is the right treatment for you.

What to Expect During Your Supartz Injection Treatment

  • Consultation: our journey to relief begins with a detailed consultation. Our team will assess your arthritis symptoms, discuss your medical history, and determine if Supartz injections are your best course of action.
  • The Injection Process: The procedure itself is straightforward and minimally invasive. First, the affected joint is prepared, and a local anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort. The Supartz is then carefully injected directly into the joint space using a fine needle. The entire process is quick, typically taking less than 30 minutes.
  • Post-Injection Care: After your Supartz injection, you may experience mild swelling, discomfort, or stiffness at the injection site. These effects are usually temporary and subside within a day or two. Most patients are able to return to their daily routines right after the procedure, though you may be recommended to steer clear of vigorous activities for a brief time to ensure the injection has time to take effect.

Recovery and Long-Term Results of Supartz Injections

Short-Term Relief  

Many patients notice a reduction in pain and an improvement in joint function within a few days of receiving their first Supartz injection. The relief from symptoms can last several months, depending on the severity of your arthritis and your individual response to the treatment.

Long-Term Management  

For ongoing relief, a series of Supartz injections may be recommended. Your podiatrist will discuss a treatment plan tailored to your needs, which may include repeat injections at regular intervals. By incorporating Supartz into your arthritis management plan, you can enjoy a more active, pain-free lifestyle.
