Speaker (clinician) reflects on changes in medicine and orthopedics and describes observing joint pain across patients and peers as they age into their 40s and 50s, particularly during perimenopause. The speaker highlights that joint pain rarely occurs in isolation and explains that these clinical and personal observations, together with collaboration with Dr. Schachter, motivated development of a holistic, whole-body approach to treating pain.

Chapters

I've seen the progression both of medicine, but also orthopedics. Over the time, new treatments have come out, new ways of addressing overall wellness within patients, and learned more about the way that our overall health and wellness affects joint pain. In the last several years, as I've begun to go into the higher age rounds, into my 40s, into perimenopause, and now approaching my 50s, we personally see, both in ourselves and our peer group, all of the symptoms, but also professionally, all of my patients from every age group, we see that they are battling joint pain, but it's never just joint pain. And that's one of the things that directed both Dr. Schachter and I to start really looking into a more holistic, well rounded, full body approach to treating our patients pain.
