What Is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones wears down over time. This leads to joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and limited mobility.

Osteoarthritis most often affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine, and is typically associated with ageing, joint injury, repetitive stress, or genetic predisposition. Without proper care, symptoms can gradually worsen, significantly impacting daily activities and quality of life.
