Arthritis is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It simply means inflammation of a joint, which gradually leads to loss of cartilage — the smooth lining that allows joints to move freely.
When arthritis affects the shoulder, it can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced movement, making everyday activities like lifting the arm, brushing hair, reaching shelves, or dressing difficult.
Although damaged cartilage cannot be regenerated, modern treatments can effectively reduce pain, improve function, and help patients stay active.
