What is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, often described as “wear and tear” arthritis. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones wears down over time. This can lead to pain, swelling, and reduced joint flexibility.
The Causes
Several factors contribute to the onset of osteoarthritis. Age is a significant factor; the older you get, the more wear and tear on your joints. Obesity also plays a role, as carrying extra weight puts additional stress on weight-bearing joints like knees and hips. Genetics and previous injuries can also make you more susceptible.
