Dr. Vonda Wright, an orthopedic surgeon, highlights that menopause impacts not just bone health but also joint and muscle health, calling it the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause.
More than half of menopausal women may experience severe musculoskeletal symptoms, which many healthcare providers dismiss as just a part of aging.
The menopause transition creates a vicious circle: pain leads to inactivity, which causes frailty and heightens the risk of falls, fractures, and complicates recovery.
As women go through menopause, common issues like joint pain, frozen shoulder, and loss of muscle mass intensify, significantly affecting their quality of life.
