Chances are you or someone you know has arthritis. It causes pain, stiffness and sometimes swelling in or around joints. This can make it hard to do the movements you rely on every day for work or taking care of your family. But you can take steps now to avoid arthritis or to reduce pain and keep moving.
There are more than 100 different types of arthritis (some conditions may be grouped under a single name in the listing below) and the cause of most types is unknown. Scientists are currently studying what roles three major factors play in certain types of arthritis. These include the genetic factors you inherit from your parents, what happens to you during your life and how you live. The importance of these factors varies for every type of arthritis.
You can use the Arthritis Foundation web site as a tool to learn more about how to spot arthritis, what to do and how our services can help.
