Many women are told joint pain is simply part of getting older, especially during perimenopause and menopause. But according to Stacey Roberts, RN, PT, MSN, that explanation often misses what’s really happening inside the body.
Roberts explains that declining estrogen reduces the body’s natural anti-inflammatory protection, making joints more sensitive to stress, movement patterns, and even food sensitivities. Over time, poor biomechanics and compensation after old injuries can quietly worsen inflammation, even without visible damage.
“Pain isn’t just about wear and tear,” says Roberts. “It’s about how hormones, inflammation, and movement interact.”
With more than 30 years of experience working with everyday women and professional athletes, Roberts helps patients address pain without surgery, injections, or long-term medication by restoring balance and mobility.
Sample Questions:
Why is joint pain so common during menopause? How do different hormones influence inflammation and pain? Do movement patterns need to be changed during perimenopause or menopause?
