Arthritis

Arthritis is a health condition that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints. It can make daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even getting up from a chair difficult.

There are different types of arthritis, but the most common are:

  • Osteoarthritis –
    wear and tear of cartilage over time
  • Rheumatoid arthritis –
    an autoimmune disorder affecting the joints

Arthritis can affect people of all ages but is more common in older adults.
