Joint Pain in Menopause – A Functional Medicine Perspective
Overall, joint pain during perimenopause and menopause is multifactorial, with hormonal changes, changes in connective tissue, lifestyle factors, and underlying health conditions all playing a role. If you're experiencing significant joint pain or discomfort during perimenopause or menopause, it's essential to consult with a functional medicine healthcare professional for evaluation and management. They can help determine the underlying cause of your joint pain and recommend appropriate treatment options—a well-rounded approach that doesn’t leave you with an empty diagnosis and no realistic way through to better health.
