About
Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. It is caused by the breakdown of cartilage in joints.
This leads to pain, stiffness, and swelling, especially in weight-bearing joints like the knees, hips, and spine.
This condition is often invisible.
Many disabilities, including this one, may not have outward signs—people can be significantly impacted even if they appear “fine” on the outside.
