Understanding Your Joints

Joint parts — joint parts (cartilage, capsule, synovia)

What Are Joints and Why Do They Hurt?

Joints are where two bones meet, allowing movement and flexibility. Each joint is supported by cartilage, a smooth, elastic tissue that cushions bones and prevents them from rubbing against one another. Surrounding this is a capsule filled with a lubricating liquid called synovia, which helps reduce friction and nourishes the cartilage.

But this cartilage can wear down over time—or because of trauma, repetitive motion, or excess body weight. The result? Painful conditions like osteoarthritis.

What Is Arthritis or Osteoarthritis?

Arthritis: The Silent Cause of Joint Pain

Arthritis is a general term for inflammation in the joints. The most common form is osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease. It’s a mechanical issue caused by the breakdown of cartilage, often leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Common Symptoms:

Joint stiffness and swelling
Pain, especially during or after movement
Decreased range of motion
Weakness around the joint

Common Causes:

Natural aging and wear over time
Repetitive movements or overuse
Injuries or trauma (falls, accidents)
Obesity and poor nutrition
Genetics (family history)
