According to Arthritis Australia, Arthritis is the major cause of disability and chronic pain in Australia, with over 3.8 million Australians affected. This costs our economy 24 billion each year in medical care and indirect costs such as loss of earnings and lost production. As our population ages, the number of people with arthritis is growing. Current trends suggest that, by 2050, 7 million Australians will suffer from some form of arthritis.
