Arthritis Society Inc Canterbury

Welcome to Arthritis Society Inc Canterbury, a beacon of hope and support for individuals living with arthritis in Christchurch and beyond. Established over two decades ago, our journey began with a simple yet profound mission: to empower lives affected by arthritis through medical clinics, education programs, and a myriad of other supportive services. Our medical clinics are more than just consultation rooms; they're sanctuaries where patients find understanding, care, and comprehensive treatment plans tailored to their unique needs. Our team of dedicated medical professionals work tirelessly to provide information and advice, ensuring each patient leaves with a sense of comfort and confidence in their journey towards better health. But we understand that arthritis management extends far beyond the four walls of our clinics. That's why we offer a wide array of education programs designed to equip patients with the knowledge they need to navigate their daily lives with ease. From practical tips for managing pain and fatigue, to lifestyle changes that promote overall wellbeing, our programs are at the forefront of arthritis care. We believe that support comes in many forms, and that's why we've built a network of vibrant support groups. These safe spaces offer the opportunity to connect with others facing similar challenges, share experiences, and find solace in shared understanding. Our groups are more than just gatherings; they're communities that foster resilience, hope, and mutual growth. As advocates for those living with arthritis, we strive to create a world where everyone affected by this condition can live life to its fullest. We work tirelessly to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and push for policies that improve the lives of our community members. Whether it's lobbying for better accessibility or advocating for improved healthcare services, we're committed to making a difference. For those in need of more practical support, Arthritis Society Inc Canterbury offers Arthritis Assist, a service designed to help with everyday tasks that can become challenging due to arthritis. From shopping and gardening to transport and home modifications, we're here to help. In addition, our hydrotherapy programs offer a gentle yet effective approach to managing arthritis symptoms, while our involvement in the Total Mobility Scheme ensures that those with mobility issues can access the transportation they need to live their lives with ease. At Arthritis Society Inc Canterbury, we're more than just a medical clinic. We're a community, a support system, and a beacon of hope for those living with arthritis. Join us on this journey towards better health, understanding, and improved quality of life. Together, we can conquer arthritis.
