Understanding Arthritis

Arthritis is a general term used to describe inflammation in one or more joints, causing pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. It can be caused by various factors such as age, family history, obesity, previous joint injuries, or autoimmune disorders. There are over 100 types of arthritis, with the most common being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is characterized by the breakdown of cartilage in the joints, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that primarily attacks the joints, causing inflammation and pain.
