Arthritis Care
Statistics coming from the Centers for Disease Control indicate that millions of American adults are affected by joint inflammation or arthritis. This is a very common cause of disability among people. Osteoarthritis, a specific kind of arthritis, results from the daily wear and tear of joints, while another type, rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition.
In 2009, the National Health Interview Survey projected that 67 million adults will be diagnosed with arthritis by 2030. It occurs more commonly in women than in men without regard to age, although age is a major contributing factor.
