An estimated 46 million adults in the U.S. have been diagnosed with arthritis, according to a national survey. Common symptoms include pain, aching, stiffness, and swelling in or around the joints. Over time, a swollen joint can become severely damaged. Some kinds of arthritis can also cause problems in organs, such as the eyes or skin.
NCCAM supports studies on arthritis. Some people with arthritis may try complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies, including dietary supplements. If you are considering using CAM therapies, talk to your health care providers to ensure safe and coordinated care.
