What is Understanding Osteoarthritis: Causes & Treatment about?
Osteoarthritis is a common type of arthritis in older adults characterized by the gradual loss of cartilage in joints. This causes bones to rub together, leading to pain, stiffness, and loss of movement. Risk factors include age, genetics, trauma, and mechanical stress or inflammation in joints. Treatment focuses on relieving pain through medications like acetaminophen, topical creams, exercises, and injections. For severe cases, surgery such as joint replacement or fusion may be considered.
