Frequently Asked Questions

Arthritis refers to a group of inflammatory joint diseases causing pain, stiffness, and swelling in the affected joints.

OA is often caused by wear and tear on joints, while RA is triggered by the immune system mistakenly attacking joint tissues.

Arthritis can affect anyone, but age, family history, obesity, and joint injuries increase the risk.

Currently, there is no cure for arthritis, but effective treatments can manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Treatment options include pain relievers, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and, in severe cases, joint replacement surgery.
