Overweight and obesity are among our biggest public health problems, leading to numerous associated diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and musculoskeletal disorders. Public healthcare resources for obesity treatment are limited, which unfortunately often manifests as insufficient care for overweight patients and regional inequality.
Obesity is a real and chronic disease, underpinned by a unique combination of various factors and mechanisms. The causes of obesity are typically hereditary, physiological (such as appetite regulation disorders), psychological, and related to an individual’s living environment and life situation. We currently live in an obesogenic environment, and obesity is no more self-inflicted than many other conditions or diseases. Obesity is usually caused by multiple factors, which means an effective treatment plan includes a combination of different treatment modalities.
Many individuals with overweight or obesity also face prejudice and demanding appearance standards. At Painoklinikka, we meet our patients with respect, by listening, and with encouragement. To lose weight and maintain the lost weight, we offer individualized treatment pathways, which combine various evidence-based treatment options and are tailored to suit each individual.
