Arthritis is a name for a group of conditions affecting the joints. These conditions cause damage to the joints, usually resulting in pain and stiffness. Arthritis can affect many different parts of the joint and nearly every joint in the body.
Many people believe that arthritis pain and osteoporosis is an inevitable part of ageing and that nothing can be done to help.
Arthritis & Osteoporosis WA provide a comprehensive range of services and programs to support the management of musculoskeletal conditions for all West Australians.Â
We are a non-profit organisation that has worked for 50 years to become the leading authority on arthritis education, research, and service provision. Our aim is to help reduce the pain and disabling effects of arthritis, osteoporosis, and related conditions to greatly improve the quality of life for people living with musculoskeletal conditions. We aim to reduce these diseases, to educate the community and support research that seeks to discover the cause and develop a cure.Â
Learn what to expect from your disease, practical tips to help you manage it and other useful information.
Arthritis & Osteoporosis WA have been dedicated in the support and success of research into possible cures and better treatments for musculoskeletal diseases in Western Australia.
Research plays an important role in discovering new treatments, and making sure that existing treatments and services are being used in the best possible ways. Research can find answers to things that are unknown, filling gaps in knowledge and changing the way that healthcare professionals work.Â
Leave a gift and create a legacy of hope for West Australians living with arthritis. Leaving a gift in your Will is a wonderful way to help others by funding Arthritis & Osteoporosis WA’s support services. Particularly through supporting our world leading research occurring right here in WA through our partnership with the University of Western Australia.
