Arthritis is a common condition in which the joints become inflamed, degenerate, and start to lose function. It is caused by overuse and aging of the joints. It may also be as a result of certain diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout or osteoarthritis. Arthritis can affect you regardless of your age and gender. The female population has a higher risk for developing arthritis than males do. With that being said, here are some tips on how to prevent arthritis and stem cell therapy being used as a treatment option


What Is Arthritis?

Arthritis is the inflammation of one or more joints, which can cause pain and stiffness. It can be caused by overuse, aging, or certain diseases.

The most common type is osteoarthritis, which accounts for about 50% of all cases. Another 30% are rheumatoid arthritis and 10% are due to gout.


Causes of Arthritis

Arthritis is an inflammatory condition of the joints. The inflammation may be caused by certain diseases, but it can also be as a result of wear and tear or injury to the joint.

The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus-related arthritis, gouty arthritis, reactive arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.

It is possible to have more than one type of arthritis at any given time.


Symptoms of Arthritis

Arthritis is a condition characterized by joint inflammation. It can cause the joints to become inflamed, degenerate and lose function. Arthritis can be caused by overuse and aging of the joints. It may also be as a result of certain diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout or osteoarthritis.

Arthritis is not specific to any gender or age group. Women have a higher risk of developing arthritis than men do: more than half of all women will develop some form of arthritis in their lifetime while only one-third of men will.

The most common symptom of arthritis is pain in and around the affected joint(s). Other symptoms include swelling, redness, heat, stiffness and reduced mobility/movement in the joints.


Treatment Options for Arthritis.

There are many treatment options available for people living with arthritis. It is important to consult your doctor about the best methods for your specific case.

If you have rheumatoid arthritis, you may need to take immune-suppressing drugs to help reduce inflammation. Corticosteroids are often used as well. If your symptoms are mild, NSAIDs can help manage pain.

Another option is stem cell therapy Austin. This treatment involves removing stem cells from bone marrow and injecting them into arthritic joints. Stem cells contain growth factors that promote regeneration of damaged tissue, which can relieve some symptoms of arthritis.
