Osteoarthritis and Arthrosis: How to Address This Problem

Osteoarthritis is a widespread degenerative disease, common among the elderly. It’s a condition marked by the progressive deterioration of articular cartilage, the smooth, elastic tissue that covers the ends of the bones in the joints. This wear and tear can lead to joint pain, stiffness, swelling and reduced mobility and range of motion.

Causes and Risk Factors

Although osteoarthritis is often associated with aging, various factors can contribute to its onset.

Genetics

Having a family history of osteoarthritis might elevate the risk of developing it.

Overweight and obesity

Excessive weight puts extra pressure on healthy joints, particularly the knees and hips.

Joint injury and trauma

Certain past fractures or other ligament injuries can alter the normal biomechanics of your joint, predisposing you to osteoarthritis.
