Can Weight Loss Decrease Pain?
If you struggle with chronic pain, losing weight might be one of the most effective ways to find relief. Excess weight puts added strain on your joints, muscles, and nerves, contributing to discomfort and inflammation.
How Weight Loss Reduces Pain
- Less pressure on joints – Every pound lost reduces knee joint stress by four pounds.
- Lower inflammation – Fat tissue produces inflammatory chemicals that can worsen pain conditions.
- Improved mobility – Moving with less weight makes daily activities easier and reduces stiffness.
- Reduced nerve compression – Extra weight can put pressure on nerves, worsening conditions like sciatica.
Conditions That May Improve With Weight Loss
- Osteoarthritis
- Back and knee pain
- Sciatica
- Fibromyalgia
- General joint and muscle pain
Losing even 5-10% of your body weight can make a noticeable difference in pain levels and overall well-being.
