What is Arthritis?
Arthritis refers to infection of the joints, causing stiffness, pain, and swelling. It can affect people of any age, but is especially common in older adults. There are more than 100 different arthritis types, but the most common types are:
- Osteoarthritis (OA): Is a condition affecting the joints that the protective cartilage on the ends of bones wears away over time. It commonly impacts the knees, hips, and hands.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): This autoimmune condition causes inflammation, discomfort, and joint degeneration when the body’s immune system targets the joints.
- Psoriatic Arthritis: This condition is often seen in people with psoriasis and causes pain, swelling, and stiffness in joints. It can affect any joint and cause significant pain.
- Gout: When stones of uric acid form in the joints, gout can result in sudden and sharp inflammatory pain, usually in the big toe.
What Causes Arthritis and How is it Treated?
Several causes of arthritis exist, including genetic and age factors, joint injuries, infections, and underlying autoimmune disorders. Additionally, obesity and inactivity raise the risk of developing arthritis. For some people, a family history of arthritis also makes them more susceptible.
There is no cure for arthritis, but different therapies can enhance your daily life and reduce pain. Treatment options include:
- Medications: Anti-inflammatories, analgesics, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are frequently prescribed. Biologic response modifiers may also be used to treat more severe cases.
- Physical Therapy: Exercise and movement therapies can help improve joint flexibility and strengthen muscles. A physical therapist may develop a personalized exercise regimen that improves mobility.
- Lifestyle Changes: Being healthy, moderate low-impact exercise, and an anti-inflammatory diet are effective symptom relievers. They also recommend avoiding activities that put strain on the joints.
- Assistive Devices: Canes, braces, or orthopedic shoes can help relieve joint pressure and provide extra support, making some daily tasks easier.
- Surgery: In severe cases where other treatments have proven unsatisfying, surgery to replace a joint may be an option.
