Early Intervention – Key to Healthy Knees
[Sponsored Article] Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common type of arthritis in which there is a gradual loss of cartilage from the joints, most often in the hands, knees, hips, and spine. There are a number of risk factors, including natural aging, obesity, and participating in certain sports, like boxing, cycling, gymnastics, ballet dancing, soccer and rugby. It is a chronic condition that gradually worsens over time; however, there are several measures that may slow its progression and control symptoms.
