Osteoarthritis - Complex Inflammatory Disorder/New England Journal of Medicine

Today, studies proved  osteoarthritis is understood now to be a more complex inflammatory disorder.

Doctors know that the cartilage surrounding joints breaks down over time. Unfortunately, this break down allows your bones to rub together and causes stiffness, pain and loss of movement.

Some people are at greater risk than others.

Studies indicate that you can actually change the risk and may be able to help yourself once symptoms develop. According to Dr. White, health professionals now have tools to help and surgery may prove ineffective based on the research that has been issued today by the New England Journal of Medicine study. www.njm.org
