Arthritis Pain

How Traditional Chinese Medicine Approaches Arthritis Treatment

---

What is arthritis? 

Arthritis is a general term that refers to a variety of conditions marked by joint inflammation, which can lead to pain, stiffness, and swelling. This challenging condition can affect individuals of all ages and backgrounds, often resulting in reduced mobility and a lower quality of life. Arthritis can affect daily life making it hard to carry out simple tasks like doing the dishes or opening a jar. 
There are many forms of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, which typically arises from the gradual deterioration of cartilage, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder where the immune system erroneously targets the joints. The severity and nature of symptoms can vary widely among individuals, significantly impacting their daily activities.
