The goal of SUPARTZ Joint Fluid Therapy is the relief of pain. You may experience some pain relief before you receive the full series of five injections. However, studies suggest that most patients experiencing relief do so after the full series of five injections. The actual amount and duration of pain relief varies from patient to patient.
