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.

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.
