Understanding Arthritis

There are over 100 types of arthritis – “itis” is always defined in medical terms as inflammation, and “arthr” refers to joints.  The most common types are osteo (bones) and rheumatoid (immune system) arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is a condition often referred to as degenerative joint disease.  It occurs when the protective covering at the ends of the bones, known as cartilage, wear down over time. Osteoarthritis most commonly occurs in a person’s hands, spine, knees, and hips. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting many joints, including those in the hands and feet.  The body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissue, including joints. It could also affect internal organs (including skin, eyes, lungs, heart and blood vessels).  Diseases – (southlandarthritis.com)

Defining Treatments for Arthritis

Treatments for arthritis in 2023 include traditional methods such as resting, alternating ice and heat to affected areas, hydration, weight loss, moderate exercise, and healthy nutrition & supplements.  Overall, keeping your body in the best condition possible may prevent, delay, or cure arthritis.  In modern times, medications have become more common.  Pain is a symptom in virtually all types of arthritis – swelling, joint stiffness, redness, and aching around the joint(s).  In advanced arthritis, symptoms may cause immobility, muscle weakness, and aerobic problems – leading to disabilities that make it difficult for a person to perform normal life functions.  Many treatments, medications, and surgery are available depending on your specific situation and diagnosis.  ArthritisdefinitionofarthritisbyMedicaldictionary(thefreedictionary.com)
