Veterans and Osteoarthritis: Navigating the Pain to Pain Relief
Arthritis is the leading cause of work disability among US adults, with an estimated 25.7 million American adults limited in their daily activities due to arthritis. This number is expected to grow to an estimated 35 million by 2040. While arthritis can affect anyone, it is highly prevalent among US veterans. Over 1 in 3 veterans (35%) have been diagnosed with arthritis, the #2 leading cause of medical discharge from active duty.
