Pain is the body's alarm system. It's the body's way of telling you that there is a serious problem. Pain is a signal that stops you from performing an activity that could put you at risk for further injury.

But when you have arthritis and your pain alarm is going off endlessly, it seems impossible to escape. How do you respond to your body’s alarm if you can’t fix the problem you’re feeling? 

To find freedom from arthritis pain, we have to first understand what it is so that we can better fight against it.

So, what is arthritis? 

Arthritis is the swelling of joints in your body, which causes pain and stiffness. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Joints are critical to your every move. So when your joints are in constant pain, it impedes your ability to do normal activities if not treated. 

What causes arthritis? 

Over time, the cartilage in your joints begins to break down. This causes stress on your bones, which leads to the inflammation.

The most common type of arthritis is Osteoarthritis. It’s also known as age-related arthritis and is usually caused by normal wear-and-tear on your body. 

Depending on your family history, you may be at a higher risk for osteoarthritis as you age.
