Return To Arthritis FAQ Archive   What causes arthritis? Answered By Editor Arthritis is caused by a variety of factors including joint instability, age-related changes, altered biochemistry, hormonal factors, environmental factors and psychological factors. Stress can also cause arthritis since stress disrupts the body's hormonal balance. Stress-induced cortisone deficiency can be a factor in some forms of arthritis. When body systems release adrenalin and cortisone, it weakens the immune system. As a result, bacteria and other detrimental organisms spread throughout the body. keywords: Arthritis | Joint Pain | Rheumatism | Arthritis Causes | Stress Arthritis Association Arthritis Home Treatment Arthritis Cause
