Extra Mobility. With less weight to carry, movement becomes easier.

Our Approach to Weight Management

At Foundation Pain & Spine, we provide personalized programs at our center for weight management, designed to fit your unique needs and health goals. Our approach to healthy weight management includes medical consultations, personalized diet planning, and ongoing support with lifestyle changes. Unlike generic plans found online, which fail to consider your specific body type and health conditions, our programs are created by a medical weight loss specialist who ensures safe and effective results.

Trying to lose weight on your own can lead to pitfalls like losing weight too quickly, which may cause your body to regain even more due to its stress response. With professional medical weight loss management, we focus on sustainable methods to help you reach and maintain a healthy weight without shocking your body. While the progress may be rather slow it will be actually sustainable, which is much more important. Depending on your needs, we may also include weight management medication to support you even more.

By choosing our experts, you can avoid the risks of do-it-yourself solutions and achieve lasting results in a way that is safe for your overall health and reduces pain caused by excess weight.

Weight Loss Injections We Offer

At Foundation Pain & Spine, we provide weight management injections like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide to support safe and effective weight loss. These treatments work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and digestion, helping patients feel fuller for longer and reducing calorie intake. This makes them a viable tool for achieving healthy weight management, especially when combined with a fully personalized plan created by a medical weight loss specialist at our clinic.

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are proven options for medical weight loss, designed to work with your body’s natural processes. They not only help control hunger but also assist in maintaining stable blood sugar levels, making them especially helpful for patients with metabolic challenges.

As part of our medical weight loss management program, these injections are used alongside diet and exercise plans, providing a safe and healthy approach to achieving results that will last. With the right guidance, weight management injections can help you achieve your weight loss goals safely and effectively, giving you the stimulation to maintain a healthier lifestyle.

  Started seeing Justin with level 8 pain for decades. Was told major back surgery was my only option to relieve it. I am not a surgicsl candidate due to fatal allergy to anesthesia. Dr. Thompson put in an intrathecal pain pump using alternate anesthesia. My pain levels now are 5-6! Major relief. I now can walk shoet distances and make my way through the grocery store. I am so grateful.  He is attentive and listens to the patient and includes them in treatments.  Clinic staff is excellent also. I am blessed to have been referred to him.  Incredible clinic.

  Excellent physician who truly care for the well being of his patients. He has gone out of his way to accommodate my everchanging needs on more than one occasion. Navigating life after an injury that left me disabled has been more than challenging but I am confident I will get through it with Dr Thompson in my corner.

  Two weeks ago I was helping a family lay sod grass and the next day I started to experience hip, leg, and foot pain. I was just taking over the counter pain relief for 2 weeks, but the pain just continued to get worse. I scheduled an appointment and Dr. Thompson was able to see me the same day. He did a great job of assessing my pain and doing a thorough exam on where my pain might be generating from. He prescribed me two pain medications that have me feeling back to my normal self. Words can’t describe the happiness I feel to be back to normal. Thank you Dr. Thompson for helping me get back to a better quality of life.

  Most of the reviews you see may not be authentic. The first appointment he seemed to care and listen to my problems being a paraplegic and my surgery I had coming up needing a pain doctor to take over my post surgery pain medication. He mentioned a procedure to look into that he could do also gave me a lower dosage of what I had been taking for the past 2 years so I was in agony for 15 days I went through 2 or 3 appointments each with a gap of 15 days and did not raise my dosage and sent me to get an MRI. There were a lot of people there to get procedures done I didn’t think much of it at first until I went back to talk about why he gave me an MRI.  Told me that I’m a good candidate and we should move forward with the procedure that I did not agree on. I said I am not comfortable with it and told me, that I am not a good match for his care and I should find someone else. Reminded him that I need a pain management doctor for surgery. Post surgery the doctors at the hospital tried to contact his office multiple times multiple days with no answer. So they had to send in a prescription and released me. I had to get in contact with him to finally get a script. So if you are having surgery and or not comfortable with going through a procedure I would not recommend because that’s all he does is procedures and does not like to prescribe pain medication when it says in his description that he does. I have my own opinion on why he only wants to do procedures but that’s not here nor there. I am only writing this as a warning for other people in my position. Wish you well and my have a better experience than I do.

  It is a great office it's just very hard to get in contact with anybody by making an appointment or calling!

FAQs About Weight Management

What is Weight Management?

Weight management is a comprehensive approach to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight through lifestyle changes, medical support, and, in some cases, specialized treatments. It involves a combination of personalized strategies like balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, behavioral changes, and sometimes medical interventions like weight loss injections or medications. The goal is to create sustainable habits that help individuals reach and maintain a healthy weight to support overall health and reduce the risk of chronic conditions.

What are Weight Loss Injections and How do They Work?

Weight loss injections are a medical treatment designed to assist in weight reduction by targeting specific hormones and metabolic pathways in the body. These injections often include substances like lipotropic compounds, B vitamins, or hormones such as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which work together to promote fat burning, increase energy, and suppress appetite. The injections help to accelerate weight loss, especially when combined with a healthy diet and exercise plan, by boosting metabolism, improving fat breakdown, and enhancing the body’s natural fat-burning capabilities.

How do Weight Management Programs Help With Chronic Pain?

Weight management programs can significantly reduce chronic pain by alleviating pressure on the joints, particularly in the back, hips, and knees. A healthier weight can also decrease inflammation in the body, potentially leading to reduced pain levels and improved mobility, which can enhance overall quality of life.

How Long Does it Take to See Results With Weight Loss Injections?

Results from weight loss injections can vary depending on individual metabolism, adherence to the program, and other health factors. Many patients may notice initial results within a few weeks, with more significant changes over several months when injections are paired with a comprehensive weight management plan.

Are Weight Loss Injections Safe?

Weight loss injections are generally considered safe when administered by trained medical professionals. These injections are tailored to the individual’s needs and closely monitored to minimize risks. Patients should discuss any pre-existing health conditions or concerns with the provider before starting treatment.

How Often Will I Need To Visit the Clinic During the Weight Management Program?

Visit frequency varies based on the program design and individual needs. Generally, patients may visit the clinic weekly or bi-weekly for progress checks, injections (if applicable), and dietary consultations. Regular visits ensure that adjustments can be made to maximize the program’s effectiveness and meet health goals.
