Weight Loss Service · St. Louis, MO
Medical weight loss, designed around your pain.
Physician-supervised medical weight loss at STL Pain Center — paired directly with your pain treatment plan to relieve mechanical load on back, knee, and joint structures.
STL Pain Center's Weight Loss Service is built specifically for patients whose back, knee, or joint pain is being amplified by excess weight. We don't run a generic diet program — we coordinate weight loss with your pain treatment plan so the mechanical relief actually translates into long-term outcomes.
Most patients pair medical weight loss with one of our regenerative or neuromodulation protocols. For back-pain patients, weight reduction is often the lever that finally makes other treatments hold.

“Anissa Wheeler was my therapist. She is fantastic and very knowledgeable. She is very friendly and I would recommend STL Pain Center to everybody. I was having left knee pain and my doctor said that I needed knee surgery. I am 71 years old and I didn't want to go through surgery so I went to STL Pain Center to see if they could do me any good. I took a gel shot once a week for 5 weeks and they helped tremendously. If you are having knee pain I recommend STL Pain Center. Thank you very much Anissa Wheeler for all your help with relieving my knee pain.”

Frequently Asked
Questions, answered.
How does medical weight loss differ from a regular diet program? +
Medical weight loss at STL Pain Center is physician-supervised, ties directly into your pain treatment plan, and is designed to relieve mechanical load on back, knee, and joint structures — not just to hit a scale number.
Will weight loss actually reduce my back pain? +
Excess weight increases mechanical load on the lumbar spine and joints. For many of our patients, weight reduction is a measurable lever for lasting back-pain relief — especially combined with regenerative or neuromodulation protocols.
