Understanding Arthritis

Before discussing pain management options, it's essential to understand arthritis. There are two primary types: osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is caused by the breakdown of cartilage in the joints, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues, including the joints. Both conditions can lead to significant pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
