  • "The nurses and doctors were so helpful during our stay. My niece had unexpected surgery with an unknown cause. When we had a scare and went back to the emergency room I was SO impressed with the care of the nurses towards us. They were kind, understanding, and went above and beyond considering the circumstances. I would 100% recommend this facility and staff. THANK YOU AGAIN!!"

Everything You Need To Know About Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) causes inflammation in the joints and the breakdown and gradual loss of joint cartilage. As the cartilage wears down, a person experiences pain and difficulty with movement.

OA is a common joint disorder. It develops in the hand, for example, in 1 in 12 people over the age of 60, according to the Arthritis Foundation.

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

There is no cure, but treatment can help manage pain and swelling and keep a person mobile and active.

OA leads to pain and stiffness in the joints.

In the early stages, a person may have no symptoms. Symptoms may occur in one or more joints, and they tend to appear gradually.

When symptoms develop, they can include:

pain and stiffness that worsen after not moving the joint for a while
swelling
difficulty moving the affected joint
warmth and tenderness in the joints
a loss of muscle bulk
a grating or crackling sound in the joint, known as crepitus
The progression of OA involves:

synovitis — mild inflammation of the tissues around the joints
damage and loss of cartilage
bony growths that form around the edges of joints
