Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint condition caused by the gradual breakdown of cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. It most commonly affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine. As the protective cartilage wears away, bones may rub against each other, causing discomfort and limiting daily activities. Early evaluation, targeted treatment, and lifestyle modifications can help manage symptoms and slow disease progression.
