What is Osteoarthritis?
Better known as arthritis, osteoarthritis is a common condition that can affect one or more joints and often prevents individuals from living life to the fullest due to the associated pain.
Osteoarthritis Explained
A normal joint is comprised of a connection of two bones that are surrounded by a capsule. The end of each bone is covered by cartilage. The cartilage helps the joint move smoothly.
Arthritis is a progressive inflammation of the joints. It can affect one or more joints. The inflammation targets the cartilage. The causes of the inflammation can be one or more of the following:
- Physical stress.
- Chemical stress.
- Emotional stress.
Due to these stressors, the rate of damage is faster than the rate of repair. This leads to the progression of arthritis.
