Arthritis

Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more joints. It is caused due to the wear and tear between the bones of the joints.

According to the world health organization It is estimated that about 70 per cent of the 60-plus population and almost 40 per cent in the age bracket of 34 to 40 years are a icted by various types of arthritis. "I get patients from all age groups," says Malhotra, "age 15 to 90".

Osteoarthritis is caused by a reduction in the normal amount of cartilage tissue through wear and tear throughout life.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) occurs when the body’s immune system attacks the tissues of the body, speci cally connective tissue, leading to joint in ammation, pain, and degeneration of the joint tissue.
