FAQs

Arthritis is a term derived from Greek that translates to "joint inflammation." It encompasses a wide range of over 100 rheumatic diseases and related conditions that induce discomfort, inflexibility, and inflammation in the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic ailment that harms the membranes surrounding the joints, gradually impairing the bones, tissue, and joints themselves. In contrast, osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that gradually deteriorates the cartilage enclosing the bone ends, commonly affecting the hip, knee, and spine.
While osteoarthritis is more prevalent in elderly people, it can also arise in athletes due to joint overuse or injury. On the other hand, rheumatoid arthritis is more common in women than men and typically emerges in individuals aged 40 and above.
The symptoms of arthritis usually arise due to joint damage, which often occurs from overuse or injury. The specific cause of arthritis varies based on the type of the disease and may be due to excessive wear-and-tear or an immune system disorder that leads to the body attacking its own joints.
No, Many arthritic problems can be treated without surgery. Here are some common ones:
  • Physical therapy: Physical therapy involves exercises that help strengthen the muscles and improve joint flexibility.
  • Medications: Medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help relieve pain and inflammation in the joints.
  • Lifestyle changes: Making changes to your lifestyle, such as losing weight, avoiding repetitive motions, and adopting a healthy diet, can help reduce the symptoms of arthritis.
  • Assistive devices: Using assistive devices such as braces, splints, or canes can help alleviate joint pain and reduce the risk of injury.
  • Acupuncture: Acupuncture, a form of alternative medicine, involves the use of small needles to stimulate specific points on the body, which can help reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Heat and cold therapy: Applying heat or cold to affected joints can help reduce pain and stiffness.
  • Supplements: Taking supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin may help reduce joint pain and improve mobility.

People suffering from arthritis often use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or meloxicam to alleviate pain and inflammation in the joints. Topical treatments, typically containing capsaicin, salicylates, menthol, camphor, cannabidiol, or an anaesthetic, are also used by some.

Regular exercise is vital for arthritis patients as it helps to strengthen muscles around the joints and improve mobility. Low-impact exercises like strength training, elliptical machines, cycling, swimming, or yoga are highly recommended for maximum benefits. Weight management is also crucial as it can reduce stress across painful joints, and some people find following an anti-inflammatory diet helpful.
