Osteoarthritis:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint condition, characterized by the breakdown of cartilage at the ends of bones due to friction. Often referred to as degenerative or wear-and-tear arthritis, OA is commonly associated with aging but can affect adults of any age and is manageable.
Symptoms:
Symptoms of Osteoarthritis encompass:
– Joint pain and stiffness
– Grating sensations in the joints
– Joint deformation and ligament injuries
– Formation of hard lumps around joints, known as bone spurs
Treatment:
Treatment for OA involves medications such as NSAIDs, analgesics and dietary supplements to alleviate pain and inflammation. Therapies like physical therapy, stretching and acupuncture aim to improve joint function and relieve pain. Surgical interventions, including joint replacement and arthroscopy, may be considered for severe cases. Maintaining an active lifestyle through physical exercise, managing weight and applying ice packs to affected areas can contribute to pain reduction and optimal joint function.
