Living well with osteoarthritis: Tips for managing joint pain - Welbodi

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, impacting millions globally. According to WHO, around 528 million people had osteoarthritis in 2019, a 113% increase since 1990. This condition occurs when cartilage—the tissue that cushions joints—wears down over time, leading to bone-on-bone friction. It also affects the entire joint, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of flexibility. Contributing factors include joint injury, aging, and being overweight. Discover how to manage this condition and maintain a good quality of life.
