Ageing is a natural and unavoidable phenomenon that brings with it various health challenges, including arthritis, memory loss, joint degeneration, lung fibrosis, and other complications.

To say that neck and back pain are minor speed bumps in the process of ageing would be quite an understatement. Rheumatoid illnesses pack a cocktail of conditions that start off with one area of the body and gradually spill onto other parts, thus impacting our functionality and eventually productivity.

World Arthritis Day falls on October 12 this year and aims to raise awareness of the condition, as well as the importance of early diagnosis.
