What is Arthritis? 

Arthritis is a broad term that encompasses over 100 different conditions. What they share in common is joint damage and inflammation (hence the telltale suffix "-itis"). Causes include both environmental and genetic factors, such as posture, occupation, weight, overall health status, cigarette use, age, family history, and personal history of injury.

Here are a few of the most common types of arthritis you've probably heard of: 

  • Osteoarthritis (OA) - commonly caused by so-called "wear and tear," OA occurs when the cartilage inside joints (frequently spine, shoulder, hip, and knee) wears down, causing bone to rub on bone. This leads to inflammation, narrowed joint spaces, and compensatory bony spurs which further disrupts movement. 
  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) - this is an autoimmune disorder that frequently affects joints in your hands and feet, and occurs due to immune-mediated inflammation of inner joint lining.
  • Gout - a chronic condition causing acute flare ups due to a build of urate crystals within the joints.

Common Signs & Symptoms of Arthritis

Arthritis can present in a variety of ways and affects each person a little differently. Common symptoms include:

  • Stiff, painful, tender, swollen, hot, and/or reddened joints
  • Decreased joint range of motion 
  • Joint deformity
  • Muscle weakening around and near the affected joints
  • Pain that is worse first thing in the morning or immediately after rising
  • The sound or feeling of clicking, popping, and grinding in the joint

Sometimes, a painful arthritic joint can "refer" pain to a nearby area of the body.
