Arthritis
Arthritis is a chronic condition affecting the lives of millions of people across the world. Arthritis occurs when the joints undergo wear and tear. Range of motion is affected, and pain is usually present. Fortunately, there are medical professionals who dedicate their entire careers to helping people with arthritis.
As a degenerative condition that worsens with time, osteoarthritis presently has no cure. As the ailment progresses, the cartilage in your joints becomes more and more damaged due to the wear and tear caused by our daily life, walking, exercising, and working. As that cartilage continues to wear away, the treatment and management of the symptoms become more challenging, and the symptoms become worse.
Symptoms include:
- Joint stiffness
- Joint pain
- Joint weakness
- Reduced mobility
- Popping or crackling of the joint
