Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis worldwide1, affecting 7% of the global population. It is often referred to as degenerative joint disease or ‘wear and tear’ arthritis. OA is a leading cause of disability in older adults and negatively impacts quality of life. OA related joint pain can cause functional limitations such as loss of independence, fatigue, low mood and poor sleep. OA is a common reason for consultation in general practice, with 1/3 of adults aged 45 years and over having sought treatment for symptoms. Classical treatments for OA, often focus on symptom relief only and not the root cause. Long term use of many of these medications can cause serious side effects.

What happens in a joint with osteoarthritis?

Cartilage is a firm, slippery tissue than cushions the ends of bones and enables smooth joint movement. OA begins when this protective cartilage breaks down and wears away, eventually causing friction and damage to the whole joint structure. Whilst OA can affect any joint, it most commonly affects joints in the hands, knees, hips and spine. Changes to the joint usually occur gradually and can get worse over time.

Symptoms

Stiffness: Stiffness of the joints may be more noticeable upon awakening or after long periods of inactivity

Bone Spurs (Osteophytes): Extra bits of bone can form around the affected joint. Often, they may feel like hard lumps under the skin

Swelling: Inflammation and an increase in synovial fluid within the joint may cause swelling

Loss of flexibility and range of motion: Joints may not move as freely or as far as normal

Pain: Joints may hurt during of after movement or at the end of the day
