Orthopedic (bone and joint-related) diseases can arise from many causes, including aging, overuse or injury, genetics, and certain diseases such as diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. Poor posture, nutritional deficiencies, and certain types of work or sports can also increase the risk of these conditions. According to statistics, approximately 35% of people in the US and Europe suffer from joint problems, meaning one in five people experience joint issues to varying degrees.
In mild cases, diseases like arthritis, rheumatism, and gout occur, with symptoms including pain, stiffness, swelling, difficulty moving, weakness, and immobility. In severe cases, joint deformities, fever, and intense pain appear, which can lead to chronic pain and loss of work ability. In extreme cases, orthopedic diseases can cause life-threatening complications.
