Arthritis

Arthritis is a general term for conditions that cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints. It can affect people of all ages but is most common in older adults. There are more than 100 types of arthritis, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being the most common.

Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a chronic and progressive neurological disorder that primarily affects movement. It occurs when nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine—a chemical that helps control movement—become damaged or die.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones wears down over time, often in weight-bearing joints like the knees, hips, and spine.
