Joint Diseases

Joint diseases refer to a variety of conditions that affect the joints, the areas where two or more bones meet. Common examples include arthritis, which causes inflammation, pain, and stiffness, and can result from wear and tear or autoimmune responses. Other conditions, like bursitis, involve inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints. Joint diseases can be caused by factors such as aging, injury, infections, or genetic predisposition. Symptoms often include swelling, reduced mobility, and discomfort, impacting daily activities. Treatment varies and may include medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes to manage pain and improve function.
