Arthritis is a pervasive condition characterized by joint inflammation that results in pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It is a chronic condition that can limit your ability to participate in activities you love and profoundly impacts your quality of life.
Understanding Arthritis
Arthritis can stem from various origins, with each form presenting unique challenges and requiring specific strategies for effective management and rehabilitation.
- Osteoarthritis: This form of arthritis is typically caused by wear and tear and degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: Originating from immune system irregularities, rheumatoid arthritis leads to inflammation in the joints, causing painful swelling.
- Gout: Caused by deposits of uric acid crystals in the joints, gout results in sudden and severe attacks of pain, redness, and tenderness in the joints.
Arthritis may manifest as persistent joint discomfort, swelling, stiffness, or decreased range of motion. The symptoms often intensify during periods of rest or in the early morning and can be debilitating, leading to modifications in lifestyle and activity levels.
