Steps You Can Take to Reduce Your Risk Of Developing Some Types Of Arthritis

December 30, 2019 by OrthoNOW Leave a Comment

Arthritis Prevention

Maintaining a healthy weight decreases your risk of developing osteoarthritis and gout. Protecting your joints from injuries or overuse can reduce your risk of osteoarthritis.

Can children get arthritis?

Yes, children can get arthritis. The most common type of arthritis found in children is juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), also known as childhood arthritis or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Damage caused by juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is permanent, so early diagnosis and proper treatment are important to prevent or minimize permanent damage. Some children with JIA achieve permanent remission, which means the disease is no longer active.
