A type of arthritis, that occurs when flexible tissue at the ends of the bones wears down.

All over the world, there are millions of people suffering from Osteoarthritis. It occurs when the protective cartilage on the ends of your bones wears down over time. Eventhough, osteoarthritis can damage any joint in your body, the disorder most commonly affects joints in your hands, knees, hips and spine.

Osteoarthritis Causes

Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones in your joints gently deteriorates. Cartilage is a firm; slippery tissue that allows nearly frictionless joint motion. In osteoarthritis, the slick surface of the cartilage becomes rough. Eventually, if the cartilage wears down completely, you may be left with bone rubbing on bone. The general factors responsible for Osteoarthritis are hereditary, obesity and injury related or overuse of joints.
