ARTHRITIS CARE

In South East England

People with arthritis need support, understanding, information and expertise, so they can cope better with their condition and get the most out of life.

That’s exactly what ARTHRITIS CARE can give you.

The term arthritis simply means inflammation of the joints. Put basically, joints don’t work as they should. But exactly what goes wrong depends on the sort of arthritis you have---and there are around 200 types of the condition.

It is the single biggest cause of physical disability in the UK.
