Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. There are many effective options for slowing down joint degeneration, and for helping patients reduce chronic pain. Anti-inflammatory medications, joint injections, and physical therapy can all be effective remedies.

WHAT CAUSES OSTEOARTHRITIS ?
Your joints wear down over time as a natural part of aging. The process accelerates if you have been injured or experience
d some kind of joint trauma. Overuse is another important factor.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OSTEOARTHRITIS AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS?
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition where the cartilage between the bones breaks down, eventually causing the bones to rub together. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder, but also causes cartilage breakdown.

HOW MUCH CAN TREATMENT HELP?
Osteoarthritis can be very debilitating. Effectively slowing down the degeneration of joint cartilage, and managing chronic pain, can provide renewed life. Medications, joint injections, and physical therapy can all be important tools.
