In this radio feature, Dr Zackary Chua from ACME Orthopaedics addresses common misconceptions about osteoarthritis, a condition often misunderstood as an inevitable part of aging. He explains that while age is a factor, osteoarthritis is influenced by lifestyle, injury history, and joint overuse. Many assume it only affects the elderly, but younger adults—especially those with untreated sports injuries—can also be at risk. Dr Chua emphasizes that early diagnosis, proper joint care, and physical therapy can slow disease progression and improve quality of life. He encourages the public to seek professional advice rather than self-diagnose or delay treatment.
