Khobragade Multispeciality Hospital

At Khobragade Multispeciality Hospital, we provide comprehensive care for patients suffering from osteoarthritis, ensuring relief from pain and improved joint function to enhance your quality of life. Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint disease that affects millions of people worldwide, especially the elderly, leading to stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility.
Osteoarthritis is the gradual wearing down of the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones in your joints. It commonly affects weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips, and spine, but can also impact the hands and other joints. As the cartilage deteriorates, bones rub against each other, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty in movement.

Symptoms of Osteoarthritis

  • Joint pain during or after movement
  • Stiffness, especially in the morning or after inactivity

Causes and Risk Factors

While osteoarthritis can occur due to age-related wear and tear, certain factors increase the risk, including:

  • Age (common in people over 50 years)
  • Joint injuries due to sports, accidents, or repetitive stress
  • Obesity, increasing stress on weight-bearing joints
  • Genetics and family history
  • Bone deformities or congenital joint disorders
