About - Achalasia Action | HealthUnlocked

Welcome to the Achalasia Action (ACAC) community, which has been set up to help people living with achalasia and spasms in the oesophagus. Achalasia is a condition affecting motility and the ability of swallowed food to reach the stomach because of issues affecting peristalsis, the muscular process that propels food into the stomach.

Our charity Achalasia Action is registered with the Charity Commission for England & Wales (no 1187367) and runs a website achalasia-action.org and a helpline 0300 772 7795. We organise patient support meetings two or three times a year, either online or, subject to COVID19 restrictions, at the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth, 60 Grove End Road, St John’s Wood, London NW8 9NH.
