What Is Arthritis?
Health care experts tell us arthritis is a broad term that describes painful
complications with our joints, ligaments, tendons and those muscles near
our joints. There are three main forms of arthritis which make up most
cases of arthritis pain in Australia. These forms of arthritis are
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout.
Arthritis Pain Facts
Statistics show arthritis is the major cause of disability and chronic pain in
Australia. In fact, the latest research shows that nearly one in five
Australians suffers with arthritis pain. In 2009, nearly 4 million Australians
had arthritis. This also included 2.4 million Australians aged between 15
to 64 years of age.
Sadly, arthritic joint conditions are more prevalent among females. In
fact, more than two million women, which are about 19.9 per cent of
Australian women and 1.8 million males or about 17.1 per cent of
Australian men, are estimated to suffer with arthritis. Arthritis and
degenerative joint pain problems generally increase with age. It is
estimated that half of all Australians aged over 80 suffer with some form
of arthritis pain.
A recent medical health report compiled by Arthritis Australia predicts
that by 2050, seven million Australians will suffer with some form of
arthritis pain. Further, osteoarthritis is expected to remain our most
prevalent arthritic condition, while the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis
is expected to increase to 9 million in 2050. At present, there are no
cures for arthritis, however, far infrared offers a safe, natural treatment
option to help ease joint pain and stiffness.
