Inflammation and wear and tear of joints – what helps and when to take action?
What causes inflammation and wear and tear in the joints?
Joints are complex structures where bones, cartilage, ligaments and synovial fluid meet. Over time, stress or injury can lead to:
- wear and tear of the articular cartilage (arthrosis),
- inflammation of the joint membrane (arthritis),
- reduction of synovial fluid,
- pain, swelling and stiffness.
The most common risk factors:
- aging,
- overweight,
- sports injuries,
- genetic predisposition,
- autoimmune inflammation (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis).
What are the symptoms of wear and tear and inflammation of the joints? (1*)
