What is arthritis, and what are the available treatment options?
Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation, pain, and stiffness in one or more joints, potentially affecting mobility and quality of life. Treatment depends on the type and severity and may include medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or disease-modifying agents, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and, in severe cases, surgical interventions to restore joint function and relieve pain.
