Understanding the
Impact of Obesity on Pain
Obesity isn’t just a matter of appearance but a significant contributor to chronic pain. At Treasure Valley Pain Center, we recognize the real and treatable connection between obesity and pain. Here’s how obesity worsens pain:
Mechanical Stress: Increased body weight places extra stress on joints and the spine, leading to pain and discomfort.
Systemic Inflammation: Obesity triggers widespread inflammation, exacerbating chronic pain conditions.
Reduced Treatment Efficacy: Pain treatments are less effective in individuals with obesity (both nonoperative and operative treatments).
Degenerative Disc Disease: Obesity increases the severity of degenerative disc disease.
Abdominal Obesity Impact: Central abdominal obesity heightens the risk of spine joint pain, joint arthritis, and the need for surgical treatment.
Obesity drastically affects sleep quality which in turn increases severity of existing pain and overall quality of life.
