Arthritis

Arthritis is a disease of the joint. The most common type of arthritis is Osteoarthritis, also known as “wear and tear” arthritis. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions and protects the ends of your bones gradually wears away. It results from overuse, trauma, or the natural degeneration of cartilage that occurs with aging.
