Get the Facts About Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a disease that affects the joints in your body by causing a breakdown of cartilage where two bones meet and form the joint. As the cartilage breaks down, bones rub together and joints become swollen and painful and/or difficult to move. Osteoarthritis mainly affects the hands, neck, and lower back.
