Joint Wear
Joint wear is the gradual loss of the cartilage that lines and protects the ends of the bones in a joint, which can affect its movement and comfort.
Common symptoms: pain that increases with activity, stiffness, a sensation of rubbing or popping, and, over time, reduced mobility.
Associated factors: age, repetitive use of the joints, previous injuries, or excess weight.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist assesses the joint, while the physical therapist and physical medicine and rehabilitation support the recovery of movement; sports medicine steps in for active individuals. If a joint hurts or feels stiff on a constant basis, it's worth discussing with a professional to guide the care.
