Arthritis is a very common
term heard by most people across the world. Unfortunately, this is probably
taking the world in it, and the condition tends to worsen when left untreated.
This is mostly witnessed in one or more than one joint. This can often lead to
stiffness and erosion. You will find a wide variety of arthritis, but one of
the widely popular and most affected ones is Osteoporosis.
This is most commonly
observed in the aged population who are more than 60 years of their age. You
will rarely find the professionals using ‘rheumatism’, but it elaborates the
arthritic conditions. This includes the wear and tear of body parts or joints.
Even when osteoarthritis mostly is present on the knees, it can also be seen on
the foot and ankle.
What are the leading
causes of arthritis? Osteoarthritis is the result
of a tear of the cartilage present in the feet. Cartilage presence on our
joints wears out with time which results in causing subchondral cysts and
spurs. The main reason for the pain is due to fluid accumulation and bone
deformation.
Foot rheumatoid arthritis is
a term that is caused due to the hyperactive immune system. Your body’s immune
cells tend to become the reason for it. There can be many reasons for it, but
mostly it is caused due to hormonal factors or genetic reasons.
How To Treat? There are both non-surgical

includes prescription medicines and using pain relievers. Patients need to go
