Chronic Joint Pain often leads to a diagnosis of degenerative joint disease (also known as osteoarthritis) and patients are given the array of physical therapy and anti-inflammatories with the hope of delaying and preventing joint replacement surgery. This is a standard approach and joint replacement procedures often need to be redone 10-20 years late. .
A multi-disciplinary approach to the same problem might look at diet, lifestyle ,exercise, nutrition, hormonal health, and other factors to prevent or delay surgery.
In this episode I welcome Dr. Angela Cortal who is an expert in Joint health and regenerative therapies and the author of Younger Joints Today.
This episode covers:
1. How hormone health matters in joint pain.
2. Nutritional and lifestyle influences
3. Regenerative therapies
4. Dr. Cortal's 7 step plan for Joint pain .
