What is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, often called the “wear and tear” arthritis. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones gradually wears down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced joint mobility.
OA can affect any joint but is most common in the knees, hips, spine, and hands. Though it is associated with aging, it can also occur due to overuse, injuries, or genetic factors.

Common Causes of Osteoarthritis
1. Age-related cartilage breakdown
Natural wear and tear due to aging is the most common cause.
2. Joint overuse or repetitive strain
Common in athletes or workers who perform repeated motions.
3. Previous joint injury
Fractures, ligament injuries, or surgeries can accelerate OA.
4. Obesity
Extra weight adds pressure to weight-bearing joints like knees and hips.
5. Poor joint alignment
Improper posture or biomechanics can unevenly wear down joints.
6. Muscle weakness
Weak muscles fail to support and stabilize joints properly.
7. Genetics
Family history can increase the risk of developing OA.
Symptoms of Osteoarthritis
Joint pain and stiffness, especially after activity or rest
Swelling or tenderness around the joint
Reduced range of motion
Grinding or crackling sounds during joint movement (crepitus)
Joint deformity or enlargement (in advanced stages)
Difficulty with daily tasks such as climbing stairs, walking, or gripping objects
