What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis, caused by the gradual breakdown of cartilage in the joints. Over time, the cartilage wears away, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. While OA can affect any joint, it most commonly impacts the knees, hips, hands, and spine.

Pain that persists even when resting
