What is Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a common joint disorder. Osteoarthritis (OA) causes inflammation in the joint cartilage. As cartilage wears down, a person experiences pain and difficulty with movement.

Osteoarthritis is a progressive disease, which means that symptoms worsen over time.

Cartilage is a protective substance that cushions the ends of the bones in the joint and allows the joints to move smoothly and easily.

In people with Osteoarthritis the smooth surface of the cartilage becomes rough and starts to wear away. As a result, the unprotected bones starts to rub together, causing damage and pain. Eventually bony lumps form on the joints.  These are called bone spurs or osteophytes and they can lend a knobbly appearance to the joint. It commonly affects the knees, hips, hands, lower back and neck.
