What is Arthritis?

The name arthritis has been derived from the combination of Greek words 'arthron', which means joints, and 'itis', which means inflammation. Arthritis is commonly designated as a disease involving inflammation of joints and joint pain, which is termed as arthralgia.

Usually this pain has a tendency of spreading over the adjoining joints, making it unbearable for the patient. Over hundred different types of arthritis have been identified, among which the most common are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Arthritis makes it very tough for the person to be physically active and increases vulnerability to high cholesterol, obesity, and heart diseases. If left untreated or undiagnosed, irreversible damages can be caused to the patient's joints, organs, and bones.
