What Causes Arthritis?
The cartilage in your joints protects your bones from absorbing shock and the pressure you exert on them during daily activities. So, if the cartilage loses integrity, for any reason, it can lead to arthritis.Injury to the joint may cause juvenile arthritis. Even if the injury heals, the damage to the cartilage might persist.
If you have a family history of arthritis, your risk of developing Osteoarthritis is higher. While scientists do not know what causes the autoimmune attack associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis, your genetic disposition can also increase your risk.
