❏ Non-inflammatory arthritis is a type of arthritis characterized by joint pain and stiffness but without significant signs of inflammation. In this condition, the joints may become painful, swollen, and stiff, but these symptoms are typically milder and do not involve the immune system's inflammatory response seen in inflammatory types of arthritis.

1. Osteoarthritis (OA): Osteoarthritis is the most common form of non-inflammatory arthritis. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time. This leads to pain, swelling, and decreased joint flexibility.
2. Degenerative Disc Disease: Degenerative disc disease affects the discs in your spine and can lead to chronic back or neck pain. It is characterized by the deterioration of the discs between the vertebrae.
3. Muscle Strains and Sprains: Muscle strains and sprains can cause joint pain and discomfort but do not involve inflammation of the joints. The treatment for non-inflammatory arthritis focuses on managing pain and improving joint function. It may include lifestyle changes, physical therapy, pain medications, and in some cases, surgical interventions.
