Inflammatory Arthritis and Non-Inflammatory Arthritis
What’s the Difference Between Inflammatory Arthritis and Noninflammatory Arthritis?
Inflammatory Arthritis (IA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease, characterized by swelling, redness, tenderness, tenderness, stiffness, pain, stiffness, or stiffness within an affected joint.
Noninflammatory Arthritis (NOA) is a common condition characterized by inflamed joints that do not exhibit the same symptoms. Inflammatory arthritis can include; (1) arthritis in the joint between the fingers, thumbs, or soles of the feet, or (2) arthritis of the joint between the fingers or soles of the feet, hands, arms, or hips.
Inflammatory arthritis can cause pain, redness, tenderness, and stiffness, and it affects an estimated 8.6 million Americans. The most common causes of inflammation in the joints include:

Non-inflammatory arthritis is the most common joint disease for which there is no known cause. Symptoms include swelling, stiffness, and soreness in affected joints and are the result of the body’s immune system overreacting to the body’s own damaged tissue. There are over 75,000 different types of arthritis that are currently affecting millions of people in the United States.
Non-inflammatory arthritis can be caused by inflammation from infections, injury, inflammation, autoimmune disease, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, food allergies, and nutritional deficiencies.

Non-inflammatory arthritis is not an autoimmune disease, however, it can result from damaging changes in the body’s tissue (injuries, overactivity, stress, or nutritional deficiencies).
