Arthritis is one of the most common causes of joint pain, affecting millions of people across all age groups. While it’s often associated with aging, arthritis can also result from injury, autoimmune conditions, or repetitive stress on the joints. At Capitol Rehab of Crofton, patients seeking arthritis treatment often ask what causes arthritis and how chiropractic care can help manage the discomfort.

What Is Arthritis?

Arthritis refers to inflammation of the joints. There are over 100 different types, but the two most common are:

• Osteoarthritis – Caused by wear and tear on the joints over time
  
• Rheumatoid arthritis – An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks healthy joint tissue
  

Both types lead to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility if not properly managed.

What Are the Symptoms?

Common symptoms include:

• Persistent joint pain
  
• Swelling or tenderness
  
• Morning stiffness
  
• Decreased range of motion
  

These symptoms may worsen with age or activity, but they can also fluctuate, with some days being better than others.
