For many local Pompton Plains, Pequannock Township, and Morris County, NJ people, Arthritis is an issue. Arthritis is a common condition related to swelling and/or tenderness of different joints in the body. The primary symptom of arthritis is joint pain. It can also be joint stiffness, which typically comes (or worsens) with age. Other symptoms may include decreased range of motion, and/or redness.

There are many types of arthritis but the most common include rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Others include Thumb arthritis, Septic arthritis, Reactive arthritis, Psoriatic arthritis, Juvenile idiopathic arthritis, Gout, and Ankylosing spondylitis.

Rheumatoid arthritis, for example, causes the immune system to attack the lining of joints and eventually the entire joint. Whereas Osteoarthritis causes cartilage to break down. Cartilage is the hard, but also semi-slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where a joint is formed. The cartilage will protect one from the pain of having those same joint bones rubbing up against one another.
