Arthritis is the inflammation of one or more joints caused by the breakdown of the cartilage that would normally protect the joints. Sufferers of arthritis will generally experience joint pain, swelling, redness around the joint, stiffness, warmth around the joint, and a reduced ability to move the joint. Treatment of arthritis will depend on the severity of the condition and how it affects your daily activities. However, long-term forms of arthritis are usually controlled through medications and physical therapy. To maintain healthy joints in arthritis patients, an exercise program is recommended which includes strength training, motion exercises for flexibility and low-impact aerobic activities. Here you will find a guide to living with arthritis and information on several common types.
