Arthritis — Which Doctor Should I See?

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. There are over 100 types, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being most common.

Common symptoms include joint pain, swelling, stiffness (especially in the morning), reduced range of motion, redness, and warmth around affected joints. Symptoms vary in severity.

There is no cure for most types of arthritis, but treatment can manage symptoms and slow progression. Options include medications, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgery.
