According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, arthritis is one of the most common chronic conditions in the U.S., affecting more than 25 percent of adults. Arthritis is also one of the leading causes of disability in the U.S., with an estimated economic burden of close to $130 billion annually. Arthritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints, and the main symptom is joint pain and stiffness that tends to gradually worsen over time. The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
