Osteoarthritis, often known as OA, is a common degenerative joint disease that mostly affects cartilage, which is the tissue that covers the ends of bones in a joint and provides protection. The progressive degeneration of cartilage in this long-term illness causes joint discomfort, stiffness, and decreased suppleness. While osteoarthritis can affect every joint in the body, it is more common in weight-bearing joints including the spine, hips, and knees. Bones may rub against one another when cartilage deteriorates, resulting in pain, edema, and the development of bone spurs. Osteoarthritis has multiple etiological variables, including genetic, mechanical, and environmental aspects. Although older folks are more likely to experience it, younger people may also be affected, particularly if they have joint injuries or other risk factors. Osteoarthritis is managed with a mix of exercise, drugs, lifestyle changes, and occasionally surgical procedures to reduce symptoms and enhance joint function. Effective management solutions attempt to improve the quality of life for people who have osteoarthritis, despite the fact that there is no known cure. For persons who have osteoarthritis and the medical professionals who support them, it is essential to comprehend the origins, symptoms, and available treatments.
