Osteoarthritis is a "degenerative" condition. It comes from use or misuse of the joint. It can also be post traumatic. The type of Arthritis you are born with is JRA or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis; although it still affects the joints, it is a very different type of disease.

The fact is that there does seem to be a genetic factor involved in degenerative or Osteoarthritis. Often people from the same family develop the symptoms of OA because they were born with the genes that predisposed them to it. while others that are not can put their joints through the same punishment without ill effect.

Which body part does osteoarthritis occur?

Osteoarthritis commonly occurs in joints that bear the most weight and undergo frequent movement, such as the knees, hips, spine, and hands. These joints are particularly susceptible to wear and tear over time, leading to the breakdown of cartilage, resulting in pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Managing osteoarthritis involves regular exercise, weight management, and supplements like JointXL Plus, which can help support joint health by promoting cartilage repair and reducing inflammation. Early intervention is key to maintaining joint function and quality of life.

What non surgical treatments for dog meniscus tear are there?

Antiinflammatories and rest will help somewhat with the pain, but the actual damage will not heal itself. Over time scar tissue should form which may stabilise the meniscus and the joint somewhat, but osteoarthritis will still develop. Normal treatments for osteoarthritis will then be needed. The jury really is still out as to whether release of the meniscus is better than nothing, or even complete removal
