Early detection and diagnosis are Pivotal for timely intervention says, Dr.Spoorthi Arun

As we come together to observe World Arthritis Day, it is paramount to raise awareness about the profound impact of arthritis on countless lives. Arthritis, a prevalent condition, afflicts millions of individuals globally. Early intervention and effective care depend heavily on the ability to recognise the signs and symptoms of diseases.

According to Dr.Spoorthi Arun, Internal Medicine, Promed Hospital, “Arthritis can have a substantial impact on an individual's ability to work.Engaging in physical activities like swimming, biking, and walking can help alleviate arthritis pain and improve overall function, mood, and quality of life.Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce the risk of developing knee osteoarthritis”.

Arthritis encompasses diverse forms, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and gout. Embrace an anti-inflammatory diet rich in fiber, green leafy vegetables, berries, ginger, nuts, and legumes, prioritising calcium and vitamin D intake, practising yoga and meditation for muscle relaxation play an important role in managing Arthritic Joint Pain

On this World Arthritis Day, let's unite in raising awareness about these conditions and advocating for better support and understanding of those living with arthritis. Together, we can improve the lives of millions affected by this common yet often misunderstood condition.
