Arthritis Treatment In London
It affects people of all ages but is most common in older adults. The term “arthritis” encompasses over 100 different types of joint diseases, with osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) being the most well-known. Arthritis primarily targets the joints, causing inflammation that can lead to joint damage if left untreated.
The joints are areas where bones meet, allowing movement and flexibility. When arthritis occurs, the cartilage that cushions the bones wears down, causing the bones to rub against each other. This results in pain, swelling, and restricted movement. This condition affects joints and can lead to a loss of function in the affected area, making it difficult to carry out everyday tasks like walking, writing, or even opening jars.
In addition to physical limitations, arthritis can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. Chronic pain, fatigue, and limited mobility can contribute to mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential in managing arthritis symptoms and preventing further joint damage.
