Treating The Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause
Many women experience new or worsening muscle, joint, or pelvic pain during perimenopause and menopause. This has been recognized as the Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause and is linked to hormonal changes that affect inflammation, tissue repair, mood, and even how the body processes pain. Headaches and migraines can also become more common during this transition.
My approach begins with a thorough investigation to understand the root causes of your pain. I look beyond menopause alone, using health history, physical exams, and targeted lab testing to rule out overlooked conditions and ensure a safe, accurate treatment plan.
From there, we build a personalized plan that fits your real life, including simple nutrition shifts, sleep and stress support, targeted supplements, acupuncture or herbal medicine, and when appropriate, menopausal hormone therapy.
This is not about chasing symptoms. It is about addressing the root drivers so you have less pain, steadier energy, clearer thinking, and feel more at home in your body.
My goal is to help you understand your hormones and stay strong and proactive through every stage.
