Struggling to achieve your weight loss goals and wondering about new options on the market? 🌟 Understanding your choices—and their risks—empowers you to take charge of your health. At Performance Pain and Sports Medicine, we’re committed to guiding you with expert, compassionate, and evidence-based advice every step of the way.

Many people are asking about Mounjaro (tirzepatide), a medication originally developed to help manage blood sugar in type 2 diabetes, which is sometimes prescribed off-label to support weight loss. Here’s what you need to know:

🔹 **Common Side Effects:** Taking Mounjaro can result in mild to moderate symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, digestive upset, and even reactions at the injection site. While these often improve as your body adjusts, discussing any lingering symptoms with your doctor is vital.

🔹 **Serious Risks:** Mounjaro may rarely lead to more severe side effects such as pancreatitis, severe digestive issues, dangerously low blood sugar (especially if combined with other diabetes medications), gallbladder problems, or allergic reactions. The FDA has also issued a boxed warning about a possible increased risk of thyroid cancer.

🔹 **Safety Concerns:** This medication is not suitable for everyone—especially those with kidney issues, severe digestive conditions, a history of allergic reactions, or a history of thyroid cancer. Alcohol may worsen side effects, and the safety of Mounjaro during pregnancy and breastfeeding isn't known.

🔹 **Is Mounjaro the right answer for weight loss?** While it can be effective, it’s not FDA-approved specifically for weight loss. Careful, collaborative decision-making with your healthcare team is crucial to finding a safe, sustainable approach tailored to *your* needs.

🌟 Hormone Health Unveiled: Understanding Estrogen Therapy Side Effects 🌟

Ladies, let's talk about a topic that matters - your hormone health! If you're considering estrogen replacement therapy, knowledge is power. At Performance Pain and Sports Medicine, we're committed to providing you with transparent, compassionate insights into your wellness journey.

Did you know that starting estrogen therapy can come with some temporary side effects? Here's what you might experience:
• Mild breast tenderness
• Occasional uterine bleeding
• Potential skin changes like acne or oily skin
• Temporary fatigue

The good news? These symptoms typically subside as your body adjusts to the treatment. Our innovative EvexiPEL Method, developed by Dr. Terri DeNeui, is designed to minimize discomfort and maximize your comfort throughout the process.

🔍 Pro Tip: Working with a specialized healthcare provider can help you explore the best estrogen delivery method for your unique needs. Some patients find combining estrogen with testosterone or progesterone provides optimal results.

Have questions about hormone therapy? We're here to listen and help! Drop a comment below or call us at 346-217-1111 to schedule a personalized consultation.

Your journey to balanced hormones and renewed vitality starts here! 💪

✨ Can a herniated disc really heal on its own—or is that just a myth? ✨

If you've been told to "wait it out" or just manage the pain, you're not alone. Herniated discs are more than just discomfort—they can cause daily pain, numbness, or even muscle weakness in your back, neck, arms, or legs.

This condition happens when the inner gel of a spinal disc pushes through its outer shell—often from aging, injury, or stress on the spine. Your body may trigger a natural healing response, but the disc itself has limited ability to repair.

So, what happens next?

Many patients start with:
✅ Physical therapy and posture correction — helpful for strengthening, but doesn’t repair the disc
✅ Pain medications — may reduce symptoms, but don’t restore function
✅ Lifestyle changes — like improving diet and reducing strain, which support general health but not always pain relief

In chronic cases, these steps alone may not provide lasting results.

That's where targeted, minimally invasive options like the Discseel® Procedure come in.

👉 Discseel® is designed to repair and regenerate damaged discs using an innovative biologic sealant—without the cutting, implants, or long recovery of traditional surgery.

Dr. Matthias Wiederholz at Performance Pain and Sports Medicine believes in combining this breakthrough technique with a patient-focused approach that supports healing from every angle.

Whether you're hoping to avoid surgery or just want a real answer to chronic pain, know that you have options—and the right one could change everything.

Looking to manage your weight without sacrificing flavor or nutrition? 🥗🍗 Chicken is a favorite protein for good reason—but do you know how much the calories can change depending on which cut you choose, whether you leave the skin on, or how you cook it?

At Performance Pain and Sports Medicine, we believe that *small, informed choices add up to real, lasting results*. Here’s what you need to know:

👉 **Not all chicken is equal!**
- **Chicken Breast (skinless, 100g):** Only 165 calories, with a powerful 31g of protein—about 80% of its calories come from protein!
- **Chicken Thigh (skinless, 100g):** Slightly higher at 179 calories, more fat, and 24.8g protein.
- **Chicken Wing (skinless, 100g):** 203 calories, 30.5g protein, with a bit more fat (36% of calories from fat).
- **Chicken Drumstick (skinless, 100g):** 155 calories and 24.2g protein.

🥔 **Skin & Cooking Style Matter:**
Adding skin nearly doubles the calories (like a chicken wing jumping from 43 to 86!). Frying, breading, or heavy sauces also boost fat and calories. Healthiest options: try poaching, grilling, roasting, or steaming your chicken to keep your meal lean and nutritious!

🔎 **Key takeaways for healthy weight loss:**
- Opt for **skinless breasts** or **tenderloins** for lower calorie, high-protein meals.
- Watch out for hidden calories in skin, breading, and sauces.
- Small tweaks—like trimming skin or choosing how you prepare your meals—can support your weight management goals!

Remember, weight management is about balance—not deprivation. We’re here to help you find the *right strategies* for your body and lifestyle.

🚨 Back Pain That Won’t Go Away? It May Be a Tear in Your Spinal Disc 🚨An annular fissure—a small but painful tear in the...

🚨 Back Pain That Won’t Go Away? It May Be a Tear in Your Spinal Disc 🚨

An annular fissure—a small but painful tear in the disc’s outer layer—can cause serious discomfort in the back, hips, or legs.

These tears often result from repetitive strain, poor posture, or even everyday aging. Once the disc is compromised, the inner gel may leak out, leading to inflammation, nerve irritation, and chronic pain.

Common symptoms include:
✅ Persistent lower back pain
✅ Radiating pain down the legs or buttocks
✅ Tingling or weakness in the lower limbs
✅ Stiffness and restricted movement

If left untreated, annular fissures can lead to more serious spinal issues like disc herniation or degenerative disc disease.

So what are your options?

🔹 Pain medications like NSAIDs help manage inflammation but don’t correct the tear.
🔹 Physical therapy strengthens surrounding muscles but won’t restore the disc itself.
🔹 Epidural steroid injections reduce inflammation temporarily, but may require repeat sessions.

Some patients explore more invasive surgeries like microdiscectomy or spinal fusion—but these procedures come with risks, long recovery times, and limited motion.

That’s where the Discseel® Procedure can offer a different path forward.

Instead of removing or fusing the disc, the Discseel® Procedure uses an FDA-approved fibrin sealant to help a damaged disc seal and begin repairing itself—minimally invasive, and without cutting or hardware.

Why patients consider Discseel®:
🔸 Targets the root of the pain, not just symptoms
🔸 Aims to heal the disc naturally, preserving mobility
🔸 Provides a non-surgical solution after other treatments fall short

Combined with lifestyle modifications like quitting smoking, improving posture, and avoiding strain, there is hope for long-term relief.
