Non-surgical relief for joint pain caused by arthritis with Dr. Solomon
Arthritis in the foot and ankle can significantly impact mobility, daily function, and quality of life. Whether you’re experiencing chronic stiffness, aching pain, or inflammation in your joints, Supartz injections provide a safe, non-surgical treatment option designed to restore comfort and function. At Solomon Aesthetic Podiatry in Beverly Hills, Dr. Nathan S. Solomon offers precision-guided Supartz therapy tailored to your unique condition and lifestyle.
Supartz is a hyaluronic acid (HA) injection used to treat osteoarthritis pain in synovial joints such as the ankle and foot. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the fluid that cushions healthy joints. In people with arthritis, this fluid becomes thinner and less effective, leading to pain and joint degeneration.
Supartz supplements this lost hyaluronic acid, re-lubricating the joint, improving shock absorption, and helping reduce friction between bones. This treatment helps patients regain movement and reduce pain without the need for surgery.
Hyaluronic acid acts as a lubricant and shock absorber in the joints. Supartz therapy replenishes depleted HA, providing essential support to reduce stress on arthritic joints. Over time, patients often notice greater ease of movement, fewer flare-ups, and improved joint stability.
In a healthy joint, hyaluronic acid plays a critical role in lubrication, cushioning, and protecting cartilage from wear. In osteoarthritis, HA levels decrease, leading to joint stiffness and pain.
When Supartz is injected into the affected joint:
Supartz does not simply mask symptoms. Instead, it works at the joint level to help improve mobility and delay the progression of arthritis. By improving the physical environment within the joint, Supartz helps patients return to activities they once avoided due to pain.
Supartz injections are FDA-approved for knee osteoarthritis, but are commonly used off-label for arthritis in the foot and ankle with great success.

Patients describe the procedure as quick and relatively comfortable. Many experience relief after just one or two sessions.
Supartz Injection Series: How Many Will I Need?
While some patients notice relief after a single injection, Supartz is typically given as a series of 3 to 5 injections, spaced about one week apart. This gradual approach allows the joint to build up lubrication and cushioning for long-term results.
Dr. Solomon tailors your treatment based on:
For chronic arthritis, repeat treatments may be recommended every 6 to 12 months to maintain comfort and function.
Whether you’re an athlete, a working professional, or an older adult dealing with chronic joint pain, Supartz is a flexible solution that supports your active lifestyle.
Many patients begin to feel relief within days of their first injection. Pain may reduce, and joint motion may become smoother and less stiff.
Full benefit is typically seen after the full injection series is completed. When maintained correctly, Supartz can delay or prevent the need for joint surgery, offering a bridge between conservative care and more invasive interventions.
