Arthritis is a common condition that causes inflammation, pain, and stiffness in the joints. It affects people of all ages and can significantly impact the quality of life. At Balark Ayurveda and Panchakarma Clinic, we offer holistic treatments to manage arthritis symptoms, alleviate pain, and improve joint mobility through Ayurvedic and Panchakarma therapies.

Symptoms of Arthritis

The symptoms of arthritis can vary depending on the type and severity of the condition. Common symptoms include:

• Joint Pain: Persistent or intermittent pain in the affected joints.
• Swelling: Inflammation around the joint, making it appear swollen.
• Stiffness: Reduced flexibility and difficulty moving the joint.
• Redness and Warmth: The skin over the joint may become red and feel warm to the touch.
• Fatigue: Chronic arthritis can lead to tiredness and a general sense of unwellness.
• Reduced Range of Motion: Difficulty in fully extending or flexing the affected joint.

Causes of Arthritis

Arthritis can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Genetic Factors: A family history of arthritis can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
• Age: The risk of arthritis increases with age, particularly after 40 years.
• Injury or Trauma: Previous joint injuries can lead to the development of arthritis later in life.
• Autoimmune Disorders: In conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system attacks healthy joints, causing inflammation.
• Infections: Certain bacterial or viral infections can lead to arthritis.
• Obesity: Excess body weight can put additional stress on the joints, especially the knees, leading to arthritis.
