What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a condition that causes joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation, among other symptoms. It's most common in people over the age of 50. There are also multiple types of arthritis, such as psoriatic arthritis and osteoarthritis.

Common Causes of Arthritis
Understanding the potential causes of arthritis can help you manage the condition in order to alleviate pain.
Arthritis is often the result of one of a variety of factors:
Autoimmune Diseases
Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of autoimmune disorder that attacks the cushions in the joints.
Age
As people age, the cartilage protecting their joints wears down, leading to osteoarthritis.
Obesity
Excess weight puts extra pressure on the joints, causing them to wear down faster.
Heavy Smoking
Smoking can damage the joints and cartilage, leading to osteoarthritis developing sooner.
Sedentary Lifestyle
Lack of physical activity can weaken the muscles that support your spine, leaving it vulnerable.
Repetitive Motions
Repetitive motions can wear down cartilage faster or, if you already have arthritis, exacerbate arthritis symptoms.
Previous Injuries
Previous injuries can leave a person vulnerable to developing arthritis in that area in the future.
