Not at all. If anything, the onset of Arthritis will be prevented.
Naturally, just like anything, if you hit it the wrong way, hard or constantly, you stand a significant chance of injuring yourself...but that has nothing to do with arthritis.
Hitting a makiwara (or board, or brick, etc) will slowly compact your bone and stimulate your nerves, building up the strength and durability of the area.

Does hitting a board cause arthritis as in training for martial arts?
No, as long as you do it right. That means you have been shown by and experienced martial artist, specifically a master, on how to properly hold your hand, fist and arm while striking the makiwara. It is not something that you can really teach yourself. I have been shown the proper techniques by a number of 5th Dan and above instructors, including an Okinawan Full Contact champion. I have been hitting one for over 8 years and the arthritis that was beginning to affect my wrists before I started has actually gone away. how would you go about finding someone who could teach you? and could you give me tips on this? Even though maybe your not a 5th Dan, you could probably offer advise please?
Can rheumatoid arthritis cause tachycardia?
