Our bodies are remarkable structures. Somehow, all systems jive together letting us be bipedal, upright beings.

Like a car, isn't it inevitable that we have some kind of "break-down"?

Arthritis is not always as scary as it seems. In the world of orthopedics, it tends to stir uproar. Arthritis does not always equate to pain or movement deficits. It does not mean that you have to stop doing everything you love.

So, what is arthritis?

If we look to the Latin origin, Arthritis means "pain in the joints." In the medical world, the term Arthritis does not characterize a single disease process. In fact, it is a catch-all term for joint pain or disease processes affecting joint health. Common symptoms include stiffness, decreased range of motion, swelling, and joint pain.

There are over 100 types of arthritis that affect individuals of all ages, sexes, and nationalities. It is not only an "Old Persons Disease". Many with arthritis complain about joint pain and skeletal health. There are other arthritic conditions that can impact the heart, lungs, skin, kidneys, and joints.

Proper diagnosis and treatment are imperative when dealing with arthritic conditions. Make sure you discuss your treatment plan with your medical provider.
