Helpline

We provide support when you need it most. Our trained team — including a Spanish-speaking expert — understands arthritis, and we're available by phone or web chat 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday to Friday. Available times during holidays may vary. If this is a medical emergency, call 911.

You can depend on our friendly Helpline representatives to answer your questions, covering a wide range of topics, as well as refer you to useful resources that can help in your situation. Whether you have arthritis yourself or take care of someone who does, contact us for the latest arthritis information and for the resources, guidance and support you need. If we're not available right away, just leave us a message and expect to hear back from us within two business days.

Please note that our Arthritis Foundation Helpline team is not medically trained and therefore cannot provide individual medical advice, diagnoses, prescriptions or procedures. For those needs, please consult a physician. We are available only to adults in the U.S. and cannot provide cash assistance.
