Wellness - Weight Loss & Management
Pittsburgh's Trusted Wellness & Weight Loss Clinic
Medical Weight Loss & Wellness
Weight loss is a difficult topic to discuss for many. All too often, adapting new fitness habits is so difficult that healthy lifestyles seemingly fail to stick. And all too often, these difficulties occur because people do not know where to begin in making changes. Sorting through conflicting information regarding weight and health is difficult, if not impossible. And understanding our individual health (and emotional) needs without medical guidance is nearly impossible.
We want to fix this and provide people with the information they actually need to lose weight and be healthy. That’s why Prisk Orthopaedics and Wellness is the only weight loss option in the Tri-State area that offers both medical guidance and expert experience. Our goal is to change your view on nutrition and fitness so that it becomes part of who you are - not something you fight with. And our unparalleled expertise tells that if you practice healthy habits with expert supervision and guidance, you will be able to build the healthy lifestyle you have only ever dreamed of.
The time to make the changes you want to make in your life and health is now. If you’re looking to not only lose weight, but to have more energy, sleep deeper, lower anxiety, feel happier, and diminish any confidence issues you may be experiencing, give us a call at (412) 525-7692 or submit an online appointment request form.

Sculpt Your Dream Body with HIFEM Technology
Say goodbye to the era of endless crunches and restrictive diets that yield underwhelming results in body sculpting. At Prisk Orthopaedics and Wellness, PC, we're thrilled to introduce HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology - a groundbreaking, non-invasive treatment that's revolutionizing the path to our desired physiques.
With HIFEM, you can expect:
- Reduced Fat Deposits: Intense contractions not only build muscle but also trigger lipolysis – the breakdown of fat cells. This double impact helps reduce unwanted fat deposits, especially in stubborn areas like the abdomen and love handles.
- Enhanced Metabolism: HIFEM's stimulation of muscle tissue increases metabolic rate, even at rest. This means you'll burn more calories throughout the day, leading to further fat reduction and body shaping.
- Improved Athletic Performance: By strengthening and conditioning both superficial and deep muscle groups, HIFEM can boost your athletic performance and aid in recovery.
Learn more about HIFEM from our recent blog, and don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions. When you're ready to have the body you've always dreamed of, schedule your first appointment!
Hormone Replacement Therapy and Weight Loss
Whether you’ve always been an active person or you’re trying to become more active now, you may find it more difficult to get motivated and lose weight as you get older. One of the factors behind this phenomenon may be a common condition that affects both men and women as they reach the ages of 50 and older: hormone imbalance.
Lowered levels of testosterone in men can cause loss of sexual interest, weight gain, and common symptoms of chronic fatigue can also make it difficult to exercise and perform from day to day. If you’re struggling with low T or living with any other hormone-related condition, Hormone Replacement Therapy may be able to help. Dr. Prisk and his team at Prisk Orthopaedics and Wellness are highly trained in providing HRT for both men and women who are looking to feel their best and meet their weight loss goals.
If you’re struggling to lose weight as a result of a hormone imbalance, Dr. Prisk can help. Schedule your appointment with us today, and we’ll discuss your options for taking the first step toward your healthier life. To learn more, give us a call at (412) 525-7692 or submit an online appointment request form.
