About Osteoarthritis

What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common types of arthritis in Australia. Over two million Australians have an osteoarthritis related condition and the number is growing. Although living with OA may at times be frustrating, it’s important to remember that pain from osteoarthritis is treatable. The key to living with OA is getting the most accurate and up-to-date research information so you can learn to manage your pain and lead a healthy, active lifestyle with your family and friends.

Most people with OA have poor joint mechanics and out-of-shape bodies. Health, wellness and active living are very important components to managing your OA. We understand this, and are committed to helping educate people with OA about the relationship between proper exercise, diet and prevention strategies, in combination with the use of anti-inflammatory medicinals or products such as glucosamine, chondroitin and omega-3 (krill and fish oils).
