Performance Pain and Sports Medicine

About Performance Pain and Sports Medicine

What is Performance Pain and Sports Medicine?

Performance Pain and Sports Medicine is mainly an interventional pain management practice. It treats back pain, neck pain, sciatica, herniated discs, headaches, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, and knee, hip and shoulder pain, with treatments that include spinal cord stimulators, joint injections and nerve blocks. In its own words: "These procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis, often with only local anesthesia or light sedation."

Beyond pain care, it offers hormone treatment, including bioidentical hormone therapy, along with peptide therapy, medical weight loss and sexual wellness treatments. It also describes itself as an anti-aging and regenerative medicine practice. Dr. Matthias Wiederholz, MD, is the physician named as a prescriber, and he is a Master Discseel Instructor. The practice offers the Discseel Procedure. It runs more than one office, and the medical weight loss program is described for only one of them.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for any service, and it does not state a consultation fee. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether a monthly fee would include medication, or how membership and cancellation work. Office hours are set by each location, so check those with the office you plan to visit. Ask each of these questions before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the hormone prescription, since the practice does not name the physician who prescribes hormone therapy. Ask whether the hormone or peptide medication is brand-name or compounded, and whether it is included in any monthly fee. Peptide therapy is listed without a description, so ask what it involves, which medications are used and what it costs. For medical weight loss, ask which office offers it, who leads the program, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether any part of care is done by telehealth, and how cancellation works before you pay anything.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are considering interventional pain care, such as spinal cord stimulators, joint injections or nerve procedures, and you want a physician-run practice to call. It also suits someone who wants hormone or peptide care, but only once the prescriber, medication and fee questions above have clear answers. If you want published prices before you call, this practice does not give them, so expect to ask.
