Medical Weight Loss & Peptide Therapy

At OrthoAlabama Spine & Sports, our team is committed to helping patients feel and perform their best, both in recovery and in everyday life. In addition to expert orthopedic care, our nurse practitioners now offer medical weight loss programs and peptide therapies designed to support joint health, optimize recovery, and promote long-term wellness.

Medical Weight Loss

Excess weight can place added stress on joints, bones, and muscles—worsening pain and increasing the risk of conditions such as arthritis. Maintaining a healthy weight also plays an important role in supporting long-term bone health, which is especially important for patients managing osteoporosis. Our medical weight loss services are designed to help patients:

• Reduce stress on joints and the spine
• Improve mobility and activity levels
• Support bone health and osteoporosis management
• Reach and maintain a healthy weight under clinical supervision

Peptide Therapy

Peptides are naturally occurring chains of amino acids that regulate essential functions in the body. When used in a clinical setting, peptide therapy can target inflammation, enhance recovery, and promote overall wellness—making it a powerful complement to orthopedic treatment.

Our providers may recommend peptide therapy to support:

• Reduced inflammation and chronic pain relief
• Accelerated recovery and postsurgical healing
• Lean muscle development and tissue repair
• Improved metabolism and weight management
• Antiaging and aesthetic benefits

Getting Started

Patients can request an appointment with one of our nurse practitioners to discuss eligibility and treatment options. Our team will guide you through next steps, including paperwork, scheduling, and coverage options. Because every patient’s needs are unique, pricing is determined after consultation. Whenever possible, we work with insurance to provide coverage, though costs may vary depending on the program selected.
