Lyme disease and joint stiffness — the good news is that a lot of the joint involvement in canine Lyme is inflammation-driven rather than structural damage, which means it can improve significantly once the infection is treated. Has she completed the antibiotic treatment, and is the vet happy the infection is resolved?
Four-week doxycycline course completed 6 weeks ago. Vet confirmed the infection is cleared. The stiffness is better than during the acute phase but still there.

Six weeks post-clearance with residual stiffness — that's within the recovery window where the joint inflammation is subsiding but hasn't fully resolved. Some dogs recover completely, others have lasting low-grade joint changes from the episode. For this stage I'd recommend 4Cyte Canine. The Epiitalis compound supports cartilage cell health, which is particularly relevant when the cartilage has been under inflammatory stress during the infection. Give it 8–12 weeks and reassess — if the stiffness is continuing to improve, the recovery is still in progress. If it plateaus, a vet check to assess any lasting joint changes is worthwhile.
