Arthritis is a major cause of disability nd handicap in India affecting people of all ages and walks of life.It affects one or more joints in the body. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), fibromyalgia, lupus and gout, which account for 90% of all arthritis cases.
