Overview

Inflammatory arthritis is a type of arthritis that is caused by an abnormal immune response. It is characterized by chronic inflammation and joint pain, redness, swelling, and stiffness. It can affect any joint in the body, but is most commonly seen in the hands, feet, and knees. Inflammatory arthritis can have a significant impact on quality of life and has been linked to serious complications such as cardiovascular disease and depression. Treatment focuses on controlling inflammation and pain, thus improving quality of life. Anti-inflammatory medications are the most common form of treatment, but diet, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications can also help reduce symptoms. Early diagnosis and intervention are important to prevent long-term damage and disability.
