Arthritis Treatment By Physiotherapy

Arthritis Treatment By Physiotherapy: Arthritis refers to inflammation of the joints, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. While it is more common in older adults, it can affect anyone, including children.

Causes of Arthritis:

Degeneration

Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones in your joints gradually deteriorates. Cartilage is a firm, slippery tissue that enables nearly frictionless joint motion.

Obesity

Being overweight puts more pressure on joints, especially weight-bearing joints like the knees and hips. For example, being 10 pounds overweight can increase the force on the knee by 30–60 pounds with each step. This can lead to the breakdown of cartilage, the flexible tissue that covers the ends of bones at joints

Smoking

Smoking can cause inflammation throughout the body, which can lead to more joint damage and more severe symptoms in people with rheumatoid arthritis

Genetics: A family history of arthritis increases the risk.

Infections: Certain bacteria or viruses can cause reactive arthritis.

Risk Factors:

Age: Arthritis risk increases with age.

Gender: Women are more likely to develop RA, while men are prone to gout.

Obesity: Excess weight puts stress on joints.

Lifestyle: Physical inactivity, smoking, or a diet high in purines (in gout).
