What Is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that restricts freedom of movement, often resulting in pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased joint flexibility. Although osteoarthritis can develop in any joint, it most frequently affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, affecting about 4.6 million Canadians. It is also the leading cause of disability in the country.
Common symptoms of osteoarthritis include:
Joint pain: Typically worsens with movement and ranges from mild to severe.
Stiffness: Joint(s) may stiffen upon waking or after periods of inactivity.
Swelling: Swollen joint(s) due to inflammation or fluid accumulation.
Reduced Range-of-Motion: Decreased flexibility and restricted movement.
Crepitis (Crunching Sensation): A grating or crackling sensation when moving the affected joint(s).
Tenderness: Occurs when pressure is applied to the affected joint(s).
Muscle Weakness: Muscles around the affected joint(s) may become weak, further limiting movement
Joint Deformity: Shape of the affected joint(s) may change in advanced stages of disease.
What Causes Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the end of your bones wears thin over time, causing your bones to rub against each other. These are the common risk factors for osteoarthritis:
Age
Gender
Genetics
Obesity
Injury or Overuse
