Types of Arthritis

According to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), arthritis is the leading cause of disability in people 15 years of age and older.

There are more than 100 types of arthritis. (The word arthritis literally means “joint inflammation.”) The most common type, osteoarthritis (OA), is a degenerative disease of the cartilage and bone that results in pain and stiffness in the affected joint. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)—a systemic disease characterized by joint inflammation and pain—is far less common than osteoarthritis but potentially much more serious. The exact cause of RA is unknown.

Both Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis are chronic conditions; there is no cure for arthritis. The good news is that tremendous strides have been made in the management and treatment of arthritis and related conditions. In addition, there are many things you can do to make living with arthritis easier and less painful.
