Hyaluronic acid does not have an immediate effect in terms of relieving pain in your knee joint. You may experience some pain, warmth and swelling immediately after the injection, but these symptoms do not last long. Immediately following the injections and for the next 48 hours, you may need to avoid activities such as jogging, tennis, heavy lifting or standing for a long period of time.

Over the course of your injections, you may notice that you have less pain in your knee. The hyaluronic acid does have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties and may stimulate your body to produce more of its own natural hyaluronic acid. After the series of joint fluid therapy injections is complete, you may have pain relief in your knee for several months. Also note that no treatment, including joint fluid therapy helps in every single patient.

Ask your doctor about SUPARTZ^® Joint Fluid Therapy and if this is the right treatment option for you.
