As part of our integrative treatment approach, we offer Zepbound injections, an FDA-approved medication designed to support chronic weight management for adults struggling with obesity or those who are overweight and have associated health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

Zepbound contains the active ingredient tirzepatide, which works by mimicking naturally occurring hormones called incretins. These hormones play a key role in regulating appetite, blood sugar levels, and insulin response. Regular administration of Zepbound injections helps patients experience reduced hunger, increased feelings of fullness, and improved blood sugar control, empowering them to adopt healthier lifestyle habits more effectively.

Our team carefully administers Zepbound injections once weekly under the skin (subcutaneously) as part of a comprehensive weight-loss program that includes nutritional counseling, physical rehabilitation, and personalized exercise recommendations. At Cape Fear Physical Medicine and Rehab, we emphasize that Zepbound treatment is most effective when combined with lifestyle adjustments, such as balanced nutrition and regular physical activity, both of which our team can support and guide you through.

Our compassionate and experienced healthcare providers at Cape Fear Physical Medicine and Rehab will thoroughly evaluate your health status and weight management goals to determine if Zepbound is an appropriate and beneficial treatment option for you. We are committed to educating our patients fully about potential benefits, risks, and side effects to ensure informed and confident health decisions.

Among our advanced treatment options are Zepbound injections, which contain the active ingredient tirzepatide. These injections support healthy weight loss and metabolic improvements by targeting hormonal pathways involved in appetite control and glucose metabolism.

Tirzepatide works as a dual agonist, activating two important metabolic hormones—glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). By stimulating these hormones, Zepbound injections help our patients experience reduced appetite, increased feelings of fullness, and ultimately consume fewer calories.

In addition, tirzepatide enhances glucose control by promoting insulin secretion from the pancreas in response to glucose levels. This improved insulin regulation not only stabilizes blood sugar but also encourages the body to utilize stored energy, reducing fat accumulation and supporting sustainable weight loss.

At Cape Fear Physical Medicine and Rehab, we offer comprehensive weight-loss management solutions, including Zepbound injections, to help patients achieve their health and wellness goals. Zepbound injections are specifically designed to support individuals struggling with obesity or overweight conditions who have found limited success through diet and exercise alone.

Ideal candidates for Zepbound injections at our practice typically have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater, or a BMI of 27 or higher accompanied by weight-related health concerns, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, musculoskeletal pain, or reduced mobility.

Candidates for Zepbound injections should be committed to incorporating lifestyle modifications—including balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and rehabilitative exercises—to maximize the effectiveness of treatment. Our providers support patients throughout the entire process, offering personalized guidance, regular follow-up appointments, and adjustments to dosage as needed.

Prior to initiating Zepbound injections, our medical team thoroughly reviews each patient’s comprehensive medical history to ensure safety and appropriateness of treatment. Individuals with certain conditions, such as a history of pancreatitis, thyroid tumors, or severe gastrointestinal issues, may not be suitable candidates. Additionally, Zepbound injections are generally not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the effects during pregnancy and lactation have not yet been fully established.

Our dedicated healthcare professionals collaborate closely with each patient, taking into account individual health status, medical history, personal weight-loss objectives, and the potential risks and benefits of therapy. Together, we develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at improving overall health, enhancing quality of life, and restoring optimal physical function.

Zepbound injections are designed to support your weight management goals and typically begin to produce noticeable results within the first few weeks of treatment. However, individual experiences may vary depending on various personal health factors.

Many of our patients start seeing initial weight-loss progress within the first four weeks, with more substantial and sustained results generally becoming evident after several months of consistent treatment combined with lifestyle adjustments. Clinical evidence suggests that significant weight reduction occurs gradually, and the optimal outcomes tend to appear between three to six months or longer.

At Cape Fear Physical Medicine and Rehab, we emphasize a comprehensive approach to your health, which includes personalized dietary guidance, structured physical activity programs tailored to your needs, and continuous medical supervision to ensure your progress remains safe, effective, and aligned with your personal goals.

We recognize that each patient’s journey is unique and influenced by factors such as baseline body weight, metabolic health, dietary habits, activity levels, and overall health status. Our dedicated medical team is here to provide personalized advice, set realistic expectations, and closely monitor your progress throughout your Zepbound treatment.
