Osteoarthritis Case Study
Does anti-Interleukin suppress of Alpha and Beta receptors stop the progression of Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis (OA), is the most common musculoskeletal condition, is a long-term chronic disease involving depletion of cartilage over time. It is also the cause of bone rubbing on bone which causes pain, stiffness, immobility, which affects the overall quality of life. Osteoarthritis is known as “Degenerative joint disorder”. There are many factors that can cause OA: age, obesity, lack of physical activity, genetic contribution, bone density, trauma and gender. The most common group of people affected by Osteoarthritis is the elderly populations around the globe, especially in developed countries. The prevalence of OA is increasing with people …show more content…
This affects age group from 55-65 yrs. Old (Middle age group and onward). The longer we live; we will be exposed to this form of OA to some degree, whether it’s mild or severe will be determined by various factors, such as: Physical activity, obesity, genetic pre-disposition.
Secondary OA: is considered to be caused by another disease or condition such as: repeated trauma or surgery to the joint structures, abnormal joints at birth (congenital abnormalities), gout (Crystallization formation in bones), rheumatoid Arthritis, hormonal disorders, and diabetes.
Osteoarthritis cannot be cured; however, there are various medications and change in one’s life style can help relieve the pain. Patients are advised to make lifestyle modification by exercise and instilling healthy eating habits. Patients are given canes and braces to help alleviate the pain along with NSAIDs, Cortisone shots, to surgery.
