What is Arthritis?

Arthritis, the medical term is the inflammation of the joints (either one or more). Additionally, the key symptoms of the condition are joint stiffness and pain that tend to worsen gradually. Two most common kinds of arthritis are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
• Osteoarthritis causes your cartilage (slippery, hard tissue covering your bones ends) to break down.
• Rheumatoid arthritis- the immune disorder which initially targets your joints lining. (synovium)
Infections, uric acid crystals or some underlying disease for example lupus or psoriasis can cause few other kinds of arthritis. The treatments differ depending upon what kind of arthritis you are suffering from. However the main purpose of the treatment is to improve the life quality through reducing symptoms.

The connective tissue, cartilage is a very flexible tissue in the joints which absorbs the shock and pressure created from the movement such as walking and running. Cartilage allows smooth movement whilst protects your joints. Few arthritis forms are caused due to the lessening in the needed cartilage tissue amount.

Hence, this natural cartilage tissue breakdown can ne worsen by an injury or infection to your joints. A person is more probable to develop osteoarthritis, in case he has the family history of this disease.

Rheumatoid arthritis, another common arthritis form, occurs when the immune system of the body attacks the body tissues. Such attack tends to affect synovium that produces a fluid which lubricates your joints and nourishes cartilage. Additionally, rheumatoid arthritis tends to eventually cause destruction to your joint cartilage and bone. What causes your immune system to attack is a question yet need an exact answer, however according to the scientists; genetic markers increase the risk to develop this form of arthritis.
