National Axial Spondyloarthritis Society

Who we are

Axial SpA is an inflammatory disease of the spine and joints. Inflammation where muscles attach to the bones, causes extreme pain. If left untreated, it can permanently fuse bones together.

We are the National Axial Spondyloarthritis Society (NASS) and we transform the diagnosis and care of people living with axial SpA.

It’s an invisible and misdiagnosed condition. Often leaving people feeling powerless, in increasing pain and extreme exhaustion.

So we campaign policy makers for early diagnosis and better services. We work with the NHS to get axial SpA identified and diagnosed quickly. We’re determined that everyone receives effective care.

We make sure people with axial SpA get the latest information and the support they need to tackle living with the condition. And we build an active community, online and through our local branches
across the UK. 

Join us. Help us raise our voices and raise funds. Axial SpA may work silently. But we don’t.
