Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, caused by gradual wear and tear of cartilage in the joints. It typically leads to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced movement — most often in the knees, hips, hands, and spine.

While osteoarthritis is progressive, early intervention can significantly ease symptoms and preserve function. Management may include medications, physiotherapy, weight management, joint protection strategies, and guided exercise tailored to each patient's needs and daily activities.
