Degenerative joint disease, also known as osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease caused by wear and tear. Chronic repetitive motion results in inflammation and structural joint damage causing the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones wears down over time. Staying active, maintaining a healthy weight and receiving certain treatments such as joint injections might slow progression of the disease and help improve pain and joint function.
