Arthritis Care focuses on managing inflammation, pain, and stiffness in the joints to restore mobility and improve quality of life. Arthritis is a group of conditions that cause swelling and tenderness in one or more joints, often resulting in reduced movement and long-term discomfort. It is one of the most common chronic conditions worldwide and can affect people of any age, though it is more prevalent among older adults. The severity of arthritis can range from mild pain to severe joint damage and disability.

There are more than 100 recognised types of arthritis, with osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) being the most common. Osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones wears down over time, leading to stiffness and reduced flexibility. Rheumatoid arthritis, by contrast, is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy joint tissue, resulting in inflammation and progressive damage.

The causes of arthritis vary by type and may include genetics, previous injuries, infections, metabolic factors, or the natural ageing process. Common symptoms include persistent joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and warmth around the affected area. In more advanced cases, people may also experience fatigue, fever, or weight loss.
