It affects 520 million individuals worldwide, with knee OA accounting for 60% of all OA cases.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hip and knee OA is the 11th leading cause of disability in a worldwide review of 291 disorders.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The precise etiology of OA is unknown. Risk factors for OA include being overweight or obese or having a history of joint injury or surgery. Having a past of joint overuse and heredity also poses a grave risk.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercising is the first-line therapy for osteoarthritis. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newhopephysio.com\/blog\/questions-ask-a-physiotherapist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">physiotherapist<\/a> can offer guidance and education on pain reduction and OA management. They can educate persons with OA on how or when to enhance joint mobility and muscle strength.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People suffering from OA should stay as active as possible. This aids with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newhopephysio.com\/blog\/page\/14\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pain relief<\/a> and reduces other OA symptoms. It also allows individuals to remain independent.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only around one-third of persons with OA will worsen with time.
