Actimove FAQs

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a general term that refers to inflammation of one or more joints. It’s not a single disease but rather a broad category that includes over 100 different conditions affecting the joints and surrounding tissues. The two most common types we encounter in clinical practice are:

  • Osteoarthritis (OA): The most prevalent form, particularly in older adults. It’s caused by wear and tear of the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility — most often in the knees, hips, hands, and spine.
     
  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA): An autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and potential joint damage. Unlike osteoarthritis, RA can affect people at a younger age and often involves joints symmetrically (e.g., both wrists or both knees).

Other forms include psoriatic arthritis, gout, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis, each with their own specific causes and characteristics.

Symptoms

Common symptoms include:

  • Joint pain and tenderness
  • Swelling
  • Stiffness, especially in the morning
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Inflammatory symptoms (in conditions like RA), such as warmth and redness around the joint

Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosis typically involves a combination of:

  • Medical history and symptom assessment
  • Physical examination
  • Blood tests (especially for inflammatory types like RA)
  • Imaging such as X-rays or MRI

While there’s currently no cure for most forms of arthritis, we have a range of treatments aimed at relieving symptoms and preventing further joint damage. These include:

  • Pain relief (e.g., paracetamol or NSAIDs)
  • Physiotherapy
  • Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for inflammatory types
  • Lifestyle interventions (weight management, regular exercise)
  • In some cases, surgery (such as joint replacement)
