What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is an inflammation of a joint and can occur anywhere in the body. Symptoms are primarily joint pain and stiffness, which often worsen with age.Arthritis can be caused by heredity, abnormal metabolism, joint injury or infection, or by an immune system dysfunction. The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis

With osteoarthritis (OA) the flexible tissue (cartilage) that cushions the ends of bones wears down. Along with joint injury, heredity and muscle weakness, advancing age is a factor for developing OA. People over 45 years or older are the majority affected by the disease. By the age of 60 most people have OA somewhere in their joints, usually in the knee.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

With rheumatoid arthritis, the body’s immune system attacks the joint linings, causing painful swelling. Over time this can cause bone erosion and joint deformity. Physiotherapy and medication can help slow the disease’s progression, and joint warmers can offer relief from painful symptoms.
