What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis, caused by the gradual wear and tear of joint cartilage. As the cartilage breaks down, bones begin to rub against each other, leading to pain, stiffness, and loss of movement. OA most frequently affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine, but can occur in any joint.

Osteoarthritis can develop gradually and worsen over time. If you have these risk factors, take steps to protect your joints and consult a healthcare professional for early management.

Understanding Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition where the protective cartilage wears down over time, causing pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to slow progression and avoid severe joint damage.

Most Commonly Affects

Older adults (risk increases with age)
Individuals with previous joint injuries
People with obesity

⚠️ If left untreated, OA can lead to permanent joint deformity, reduced mobility, and chronic pain.

Key Symptoms

Persistent joint pain, especially with movement
Swelling and tenderness around the joints
Stiffness after rest or in the morning
Clicking or cracking sound during joint movement
Reduced range of motion and flexibility

🚨 If you notice persistent joint pain, swelling, or stiffness—especially in the morning or after rest—these may be symptoms of osteoarthritis. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and improve joint health. Consult an osteoarthritis specialist in Bangalore for expert care.
