Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, a degenerative joint disease characterized by the progressive breakdown of articular cartilage, leading to joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. It primarily affects middle-aged and older adults, commonly involving the hands, knees, hips, neck, and lower back. The condition results from cartilage wear that allows bones to rub against each other, causing chronic discomfort and eventual bone-on-bone contact, bone spurs, and joint deformity. While the exact cause remains unclear, risk factors include aging, obesity, joint injury, genetic predisposition, and repetitive joint stress. Symptoms vary but typically include joint pain, stiffness, limited flexibility, crepitus (creaking or cracking sounds), and swelling. Although there is no cure, management strategies such as medications, physical therapy, weight control, exercise, and surgery in severe cases can help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Osteoarthritis significantly impacts daily functioning and may lead to disability in advanced stages.
