Understanding Chronic Conditions
Chronic conditions are long-lasting health issues that often result from a combination of factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices, and environmental influences. These conditions can affect various parts of the body, leading to symptoms such as pain, inflammation, stiffness, and decreased mobility. Common chronic conditions include:
- Arthritis: A group of conditions characterized by joint inflammation and stiffness, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Fibromyalgia: A disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tender points throughout the body.
- Chronic Back Pain: Persistent pain and discomfort in the lower back, often caused by injury, muscle strain, or underlying spinal conditions.
- Neuropathy: Nerve damage that results in pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness, commonly affecting the hands and feet.
