ARTHRITIS
ARTHRITIC PAIN MANAGEMENT
WHAT IS ARTHRITIS?
Arthritis is a group of conditions where there is damage caused to the joints of the body.
There are many forms of arthritis, each of which has a different cause and can affect people at any stage of life. The common thread among these 100-plus conditions is that they all affect the musculoskeletal system and specifically the joints - where two or more bones meet.
The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis is also known as degenerative joint disease and occurs following trauma to the joint, following an infection of the joint or simply as a result of aging.
