Myths around arthritis cleared

Arthritis affects millions of Indians, yet myths often make patients delay treatment or live with unnecessary pain. At Moolchand Hospital, one of the best orthopaedic hospitals in Delhi, our superb physicians help patients separate facts from fiction with compassion and evidence-based care.

Common Myths vs. Facts

Myth 1: Only old people get arthritis.
Fact: Arthritis can affect anyone — even young adults. Early detection and physiotherapy prevent long-term joint damage.

Myth 2: Exercise worsens arthritis.
Fact: The right kind of movement actually protects your joints. Low-impact exercises like walking, yoga, or swimming ease stiffness and strengthen muscles.

Myth 3: Painkillers are the only solution.
Fact: Modern treatment includes lifestyle changes, targeted medications, and in advanced cases, robotic joint replacement for lasting relief.

Myth 4: Cold weather causes arthritis.
Fact: Weather may increase pain sensitivity, but it doesn’t cause arthritis. The real factors are genetics, injuries, and joint wear-and-tear.

Myth 5: You’ll lose mobility after surgery.
Fact: Today’s minimally invasive and robotic techniques help patients walk within 24 hours and return to normal life quickly.
