Joint inflammation or arthritis has been a plaguing mankind for centuries. Seems like every one knows someone with this afflication.
Osteoarthritis, the most common, affects about 16 million Americans with an average age of 45. It usually attacks weight bearing joints like knees, hips, and ankles but has been found in the fingers, neck and spine. Each of our joints is cushioned by cartilage, a very dense, sponge-like substance. Osteoarthritis damages that cartilage and gradually wears it down. The majority of arthritis pain relief remedies are targeted towards osteoarthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis can also cause inflammation of the tissue around the joints, as well as other organs in the body.
Psoriatic Arthritis is not as well known as the previous two, but actually eats away at the joints and can also manifest as psoriasis on the skin.
