Review
[Osteoarthritis: Degenerative changes or adaptive changes? Brief pain advice in primary care].
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease and is the most common joint problem worldwide. It is considered a serious disease due to the presence of pain and reduced functional capacity. Moreover, there are no disease-modifying drugs or curative treatment at present; the basic or first-line treatment is non-pharmacological, based on education and physical exercise. ⋯ In short, osteoarthritis is part of the normal aging process of the population.
