Semaglutide Injections

Still struggling to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight? You are not alone! Over 70% of American adults are overweight or obese. Research shows that obesity should be treated as a chronic metabolic disease, and those struggling to lose weight should not have to rely only on forced diets and lifestyle changes to manage their condition. That’s why Atlantic Knee Restoration and Regenerative Medicine is pleased to offer our patients semaglutide weight loss injections.

Semaglutide is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat chronic weight management.

Semaglutide is a medication that increases glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor activity in the body. In certain doses, GLP-1 can help to suppress your appetite, cause you to feel full, and utilize the sugar in your body for energy. Therefore, adding semiglutide injections to your weight loss regimen can help you lose more weight than diet and exercise alone. Other benefits of semaglutide can include a reduced risk of diabetes, cancer and heart disease in people who are obese or overweight.

• Delaying stomach emptying and slowing intestinal motility, leading to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meal sizes
• Lowering blood sugar, in part by reducing the production of glucagon from the pancreas
• Stimulating insulin secretion by the pancreas, but not directly, so it does not cause low blood sugar
• Healthier blood sugar levels, helping patients feel more energetic throughout their day and helping improve other areas of overall health
