What is Osteoarthritis & how is it caused?
Osteoarthritis is one of the most common forms of arthritis. Arthritis is a joint disorder that causes swollen, inflamed joints. In this, osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage around your bones begins to wear down. It is a chronic condition that lasts for a lifetime for most people. The uncomfortable friction between two joints leads to severe pain, stiffness and other symptoms which get difficult to bear with.
Here’s everything you need to know about this joint disorder and how homeopathy has the perfect antidote to osteoarthritis.
