What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a group of conditions characterised by joint inflammation, pain, and stiffness. It can affect people of all ages and has several types, including:

Osteoarthritis (OA)
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Psoriatic arthritis
Juvenile arthritis

Symptoms can include joint swelling, reduced range of motion, stiffness, and difficulty performing daily tasks. Arthritis can impact not only physical health but also mental well-being, as chronic pain and limitations take a toll.
