What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a common condition characterized by joint inflammation, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It affects millions of people, especially seniors, and is one of the leading causes of disability in the United States.

There are over 100 types of arthritis, but the most common include:

  • Osteoarthritis: Often referred to as wear-and-tear arthritis, this occurs when the protective cartilage in the joints gradually breaks down over time.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, leading to inflammation and joint damage.

Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, including swelling, redness, and limited joint flexibility. Though there is no cure for arthritis, proper care and lifestyle adjustments can significantly improve quality of life and reduce discomfort.
