Movement Matters: Food for Thought

Systemic osteoarthritis:

the difficulty of categorically naming a continuous condition

A great reminder of the "body as a garden" approach to health and well being.

"Therefore, OA should be approached as a systemic disease, considering individual patient factors, such as genetics, inflammatory response, and lifestyle. Medical care should be more holistic and personalized. Consideration of a name change, such as "systemic OA", could help to move away from the perception of a disease focused only on the joints."
