Understanding Arthritis
Arthritis refers to the inflammation of one or more joints and can affect individuals of all ages, including young children. Though more common in older adults, arthritis can develop due to autoimmune diseases, infections, or fractures.
The most common forms of arthritis are:
- Osteoarthritis: Typically occurring in individuals over 50, this type involves the degeneration of cartilage in the joints, leading to stiffness, discomfort, and reduced mobility.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: A chronic condition where the joint lining becomes inflamed, causing pain, decreased function, and potential joint damage. This condition can also affect other tissues and organs.
- Juvenile Arthritis: Affects individuals under 18, with the most common form being idiopathic arthritis, characterized by persistent joint swelling for at least six weeks.
Arthritis Care at Home
While arthritis is a chronic condition, with proper care and lifestyle changes, pain can be managed, function can be improved, and further joint damage can be prevented. Treatment options may include medication prescribed by your doctor, physical therapy, and, in severe cases, surgery.
Other beneficial treatments include gentle exercises such as low-impact aerobics, strength training, and flexibility exercises. Therapies such as heat, ice, water, and massage can also help alleviate symptoms.
At Homecare Nigeria, we provide a wide range of services to support individuals with arthritis, allowing them to receive care at home rather than relocating to a facility. Our personalized care plans are designed to meet your unique needs, empowering you to live comfortably and independently.
