What Is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a medical term that describes joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness. Many conditions and diseases can cause arthritis. Arthritis may affect any joint in your body and develop at any age. The condition is progressive, and symptoms may worsen over time. Taking steps to manage your arthritis early may prevent or delay joint changes that lead to chronic pain and disability.

Common Types of Arthritis

There are over 100 conditions that cause arthritis. The most common types include:

Osteoarthritis

Better known as wear-and-tear arthritis, osteoarthritis is the most common cause of joint pain and inflammation. This type occurs from a wearing away of the cartilage that separates and cushions the bones.

Rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the lining of the joint capsule.

Psoriatic arthritis

Psoriatic arthritis is also an autoimmune disease that occurs in people with psoriasis. With psoriatic arthritis, the immune system attacks healthy joint tissue, causing inflammation and pain.

What Happens During an Arthritis Evaluation?

When you visit NY Partners Orthopedics for an arthritis evaluation, your board-certified orthopedic physician conducts an in-depth clinical exam to fully understand your condition and how it interferes with daily life. Your provider reviews your symptoms, medical history, and any prior imaging before recommending a course of treatment.
