The symptoms of arthritis can vary depending on the type but commonly include joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. Many people experience reduced range of motion and increased difficulty in performing daily activities. The affected joints may feel warm to the touch and appear red or inflamed. Symptoms often worsen in the morning or after periods of inactivity. In some forms of arthritis, fatigue, fever, and weight loss may occur. As the condition progresses, joint deformities can develop. The severity of symptoms can fluctuate, with periods of flare-ups and remission.

The causes of arthritis vary depending on the type. Osteoarthritis is often related to wear and tear on joints over time, exacerbated by factors like aging, obesity, and joint injuries. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system attacks the joints. Genetic factors can increase susceptibility to certain types of arthritis. Other potential causes include infections, crystal deposition (as in gout), and underlying medical conditions. Environmental factors, such as repetitive joint stress from certain occupations, can also contribute. In some cases, the exact cause remains unknown.

Treatment for arthritis aims to reduce pain, improve function, and prevent further joint damage. Traditional approaches include medications like NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Physical therapy and regular exercise are crucial for maintaining joint flexibility and strength. Emerging treatments like Stem Cell Therapy show promise in regenerating damaged cartilage and reducing inflammation. IV Hydration therapy can help manage inflammation and improve overall wellness. Nutraceutical Supplementation, particularly with anti-inflammatory compounds like omega-3 fatty acids and turmeric, may offer additional support. In severe cases, joint replacement surgery might be necessary. A comprehensive treatment plan often combines multiple approaches for optimal management.
