Treatment for Osteoarthritis at Body Zest- Banstead

What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that occurs when the cartilage between joints breaks down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced movement. It is most commonly associated with aging, but it can also be caused by old injuries. Common symptoms of osteoarthritis include back pain, hip pain, and knee pain.

Who is at Risk of Osteoarthritis?

While osteoarthritis is most commonly associated with aging, there are several risk factors that can increase the likelihood of developing the condition. These risk factors include previous joint injuries, repetitive stress on the joints, and a family history of osteoarthritis.
