1. What is Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones wears down over time. It most commonly affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine. Symptoms include joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility.

2. Types of Osteoarthritis

• Primary Osteoarthritis – Age-related wear and tear without an obvious cause.
• Secondary Osteoarthritis – Caused by injury, obesity, repeated stress, or underlying conditions like diabetes.
• Knee Osteoarthritis – Common due to weight-bearing stress.
• Hip Osteoarthritis – Leads to groin, thigh, or buttock pain.
• Spinal Osteoarthritis – Affects cervical or lumbar spine, causing stiffness and nerve compression.

3. Causes of Osteoarthritis

• Aging – Natural wear and tear of cartilage.
• Joint Injury or Overuse – Sports, heavy lifting, or repetitive movements.
• Obesity – Extra weight increases joint stress.
• Genetic Factors – Family history of osteoarthritis.
• Muscle Weakness or Sedentary Lifestyle – Poor joint support accelerates degeneration.
• Metabolic Diseases – Conditions like diabetes or hormonal imbalance.
