Supartz Injections Keeping Your Feet Happy & Healthy

Thousand Oaks Supartz Injections

Foot & Ankle Joint Pain Treatment

Supartz is a synthetic fluid designed to match the fluids that surround joints in the body. The fluid around joints helps to absorb shock and keep the joints lubricated. As we get older, our fluid levels decrease, which can lead to joint pain. Fluid loss can also be caused by arthritis, which will not get better without treatment.

Medical providers typically recommend Supartz injections when more conservative treatments have failed. During the procedure, an injection of Supartz is applied directly into the joint. Patients will need to receive injections once a week for three to five weeks to receive the maximum benefit.

Performance Foot and Ankle provides Supartz injections for patients in Thousand Oaks and the surrounding areas. Contact us today at (805) 380-3152 to learn more about our services.

What You Should Know About Supartz Injections

You should not receive a Supartz injection if you have an injection around the affected. You should also inform your doctor if you have any blood clots or circulation problems in the legs. Patients with allergies to birds, feathers, and eggs often have allergies to the Supartz injection, and may not be good candidates for the treatment. Supartz has not been approved for use on anyone under the age of 21.

After receiving an injection, let the area rest for the next 48 hours. Try not to stand for longer than one hour at a time, and be sure to avoid strenuous activities such as running, jogging, or lifting weights.

Supartz injection side effects may include: 

  • Nausea
  • Numbness
  • Headaches or dizziness
  • Stuffy nose and sore throat
  • Redness and pain in the injection area

These side effects are considered normal and should go away with a day or so. However, symptoms such as hives, difficulty breathing, and facial swelling are signs of an allergic reaction and should be treated immediately.

Hear from Our Happy Patients
  • "I highly recommend!"
    Dr. Patel and his staff were absolutely incredible! I was having issues with my foot for about 5 years and I had been to numerous doctors without success. Then I met Dr. Patel and I’m happy to report that my issue is now solved! So thankful and could not be happier. Everyone here is super nice, down to earth and they genuinely care about you, the patient, which was super important to me. I was very impressed with how they go about their business and I highly recommend!

  • "Dr Gifford and her team are communicative, caring and highly capable."
    Dr. Gifford and her team are amazing and I recommend Dr. Gifford without hesitation. She provided me with multiple options to address Achilles issues. I ultimately needed surgery and the results have allowed me to walk without pain and return to activities I had been missing. My incision site is imperceptible. Dr Gifford and her team are communicative, caring and highly capable.

  • "This is what medical care should be!"
    Excellent customer service, and thorough care. Dr. Patel was down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and skilled (my kind of doc). The office was clean, and well-run. Billing was smooth as well without any of the hiccups you get at other offices. This is what medical care should be!

  • "They do excellent work and care about their patients."
    Going to performance foot and ankle. It's like going to your salon or Barber. Once you find a good stylus, you won't leave them. Doctor Patel and his staff are like that. My dad has been going to them for years he's 102 years old. They do excellent work and care about their patients.

  • "I highly recommend this place!"
    The process was smooth and efficient from the start. After filling out "contact us" form on their website, I received a call within 30 minutes to set up my appointment. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming. When I arrived, I handed them the printed form, and I was seen almost immediately. Dr. Patel was fantastic—he took the time to listen to all my concerns, identified the cause of my issue, and provided a clear solution. He even showed me at-home remedies and offered tips on how to prevent the problem in the future, without making me feel pressured to buy any treatment products. He went above and beyond in his care. Overall, a great experience!

  • "Can't thank her enough"
    Dr. Gifford was very knowledgeable with explaining the cause of my heel pain and gave me a painless injection. She was very friendly and took her time with answering all my questions. Can't thank her enough because I'm back to my normal workout routine without any pain!
