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.

Harnessing the power of
Weight Loss GLP-1 Agonist Injections

How do these injections work? GLP-1 agonists like semagutide & tirzepatide are neurocognitive peptides first studied to improve cognitive function and it was noticed that significant weight loss was a side effect! These peptides are signaling agents that the body is familiar with, and mimic GLP-1 which is produced naturally in the stomach, allowing your body to be more efficient at shedding weight in 5 key ways:

  1. Regulating Appetite and Blood Sugar: Curb hunger and enhance feelings of fullness, making it easier to stick to a healthy diet and lifestyle.
  2. Improved fat oxidation
  3. Insulin Sensitivity: Enhanced insulin secretion and sensitivity, making your body more efficient at using calories for energy.
  4. Improved glucose absorption by muscle tissue
  5. Decreased muscle atrophy agents that break down muscle with age and weight loss alone (very important to maintain muscle tissue for overall health and longevity).
