About Joints Muscles

Joint and muscle pain is one of the most common reasons people come to DrTalks, especially once it starts getting in the way of everyday life. Aching joints after 40, stiff mornings, back and shoulder pain that won't settle, sports injuries, and losing strength faster than you expected are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past wear and tear. Your joints and muscles are affected by hormones, inflammation, protein intake, blood sugar, posture and how you move. You'll find conversations on menopause and joint pain, muscle loss with age, fascia, avoiding unnecessary surgery, and regenerative options like peptides and injections. Orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from imaging to inflammatory markers, and what helps, from strength training and enough protein to mobility work, hormone therapy, injections and recovery tools.
