Joint Pain After 50: Why Ignoring It Can Cost You Your Mobility | Dr. Deborah Westergaard

Season 1 Episode 39 Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description

What if the joint pain you keep brushing off is quietly taking away your mobility?

For men over 50, sore joints can become easy to dismiss as part of getting older. But when pain starts changing how you train, move, work, or enjoy life, it deserves a closer look.

In this episode, board-certified pain medicine physician Dr. Deborah Westergaard explains why protecting mobility matters and why surgery may not always be the only option.

  • Why persistent joint pain should not automatically be accepted as normal aging
  • How orthobiologics and PRP therapy may be used to support damaged joints and tissues
  • When it makes sense to seek a qualified second opinion before moving forward with surgery

Listen for a clearer understanding of what your pain may be telling you and how to stay active, capable, and in control after 50.
