World Arthritis Day

Arthritis,known as disease of the old, affects millions of people worldwide.Basic symptoms are inflammation of joints which severely impairs a person's ability to perform every day work.It is curable but the best treatment is its prevention.To create awareness,on October 12,a ‪#‎WorldArthritisDay‬ is being held.



There are two major types of Arthritis,one is Osteoarthritis.This is caused by normal wear and tear of cartilage.
The other is Rheumatoid Arthritis,this is caused by overactive immune system.
Good calcium and potassium rich diet is a sure shot way of preventing it but if a person falls sick from this,it does not mean there is definitely a cure available.From medicines to surgery all alternatives are available but we use these only according to the patients requirement.
