Understanding Arthritis and Its Causes
Arthritis occurs when the joints become inflamed, leading to pain and stiffness. There are multiple types of arthritis, but the most common are:
Osteoarthritis
Caused by wear and tear on the joints over time.
Can develop due to age, previous injuries, or repetitive movements.
Common in weight-bearing joints like the knees, hips, and spine.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks healthy joints
Leads to inflammation, swelling, and joint deformities
Often affects both sides of the body symmetrically
Other factors like genetics, lifestyle, and occupational stress can also contribute to arthritis development.
Signs and Symptoms of Arthritis
Joint pain and stiffness, especially in the morning
Swelling and tenderness in the affected joints
Reduced range of motion
Cracking or grinding sensations when moving joints
Increased discomfort with prolonged activity
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, early intervention through physiotherapy can help prevent further joint damage and improve your mobility.
