Do you have knee pain? Does it keep you from certain activities? Do you take medication for knee pain? Do you have knee pain after exercise? Do you have difficulty going up and downstairs? Are you considering knee replacement surgery? Have you tried everything to get rid of knee pain without success? If you have answered yes to any of these questions you need to know your options.
Currently, an estimated 27 million people suffer from knee osteoarthritis, making it one of the most common causes of disability in the U.S. It is estimated by the year 2030, 72 million Americans will be at high risk for osteoarthritis. Patients with chronic joint pain often think their only option is surgery. Knee replacement surgery is indeed necessary for some people; however, there is a less invasive approach to relieving knee pain and potentially avoid surgery.
Causes of knee osteoarthritis
Age
Trauma
Postural Imbalance
Repetitive strain or overuse
Abnormal gait pattern
Previous knee injury
Overweight
Improper joint alignment
If you’ve been suffering from constant or intermittent knee pain that just won’t go away no matter how much ibuprofen you take – there is another option. With knee arthritis, the cartilage breaks down and wears away leaving the bones to rub together causing pain, swelling, and stiffness, and limited range of motion in affected joints.
The American Academy of Rheumatology recommends the use of Supartz for one potential treatment option for osteoarthritis of the knee. Supartz has been shown to be effective for thousands of individuals relieving their knee pain without surgery.
At the Advanced Spine & Joint Institute, their goal is to give you the best chance of preventing knee replacement surgery, which is what arthritis frequently involves if left unprotected or untreated. Their medical practitioner will inject directly into your knee joint using a high-tech medical device called a fluoroscan to pinpoint the exact location intended with extreme accuracy, which provides the best possible outcome from each injection.
With knee replacement surgery, once done, there is no turning back to a more conservative approach. A total knee replacement is a very extreme measure to take without considering all of your options for a condition as common as knee arthritis.
Supartz is a gel like substance similar to the synovial fluid in your knees, which reduces inflammation and increases cushioning and lubrication of your knees immediately. Supartz is a purified compound, which is found naturally. This treatment protocol is used to treat the symptoms associated with arthritis.
Countless numbers of patients have experienced successful results with the Supartz treatment and are now experiencing life once again without knee pain.
“I was told I was bone on bone and needed replacement surgery. Knees are very important to me, as I am a dancer. I decided to address the problems and began injections. What a difference this is made in my life. Words cannot express how grateful I am for all that has been given back to me. Icing on the cake is I’m getting triple twirls (I’m 82 years young), which I have not done in years I highly recommend this treatment.” – Patricia M.
Why do knee injections often fail?
What is different about the Supartz procedure?
They perform blind injections without image guidance
They use antiquated equipment from as far back as 2001, even in some of the largest hospitals.
They use Cortisone, which can have side effects
Most blind injections result in needle misplacement. With this much inaccuracy, its no wonder most people never find relief.
When properly injected into the knees, Supartz helps to cushion and lubricate the knee joint, nurturing the cartilage for natural pain management. This solution helps to restore normal function to the knee, including its natural lubrication. Patients experience less pain and are able to enjoy a more active lifestyle.
