Degenerative Arthritis

The osteoarthritis, also known as arthrosis, degenerative arthritis and degenerative joint disease, is a rheumatic disease that primarily focuses in the joints of the knee, spine, hip, hands and fingers. It occurs both in men as in women and is the most common type of arthritis.

When you use a joint, the pressure on the cartilage is damped by a liquid responsible for making movement easier as well as lead to the same nutrients.
It is worth emphasizing that the cartilage is also important to reduce the impact on the articular structures.

This harmonious process, which occurs within our joints, can destabilising up over the years, as we have a wear of cartilage, without which we can realise.
When this happens, it is as if the surface of the bone on one side of the conjunction "raspasse" in the bone on the other side, and can appear pain, swelling and sometimes inflammation.

Regarding age, can say that it is uncommon in people under 40 years old were more frequent after 60 years.
