WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS
Osteoarthritis is wear and tear of joints which is often caused by rubbing of bones against each other and eroding the cartilage lining, which provides a cushioning effect and covers the bones forming the joint. The symptoms of Arthritis may appear suddenly or gradually, including pain, stiffness, swelling, difficulty in taking stairs, walking for prolonged periods, etc.
ARTHRITIS TREATMENT IN GURGAON
Arthritis is a progressive age-related disease. It usually affects weight bearing joints of the body with knee being the commonest. Other most prevalent joints are Hip, Shoulder and Spine.
- Joint is formed with 2 bones connecting each other and giving us freedom of movement. On the top of these bones is a layer of cartilage which provides smooth gliding of bones over each other.
- In between the joint there is synovial fluid which acts as a shock absorber, provides nutrient to the joints and provides lubrication.
- These all are enclosed in a joint cavity.
- When your muscles becomes weak they fail to support the joints and the bones come in approximation to each other (more closer).
- This results in rubbing off the cartilage layering causing inflammation and pain.
- The more it keeps on eroding the bony surfaces becomes uncovered and starts rubbing and grinding against each other.
- As bones are brittle it causes osteophytes formation (small bone spikings because of rubbing) which further irritates the joint and increases severity of symptoms.
- Slowly and gradually the space between the joints keep on reducing.
- Overweight.
- Muscular weakness.
- Poor posture.
- Altered biomechanics of the body.
- Flat foot.
