Manage Pain and Improve Mobility with Expert Ankylosing Spondylitis Treatment

 

What is Ankylosing Spondylitis?

Ankylosing Spondylitis is a type of chronic arthritis that primarily affects the sacroiliac joints in the lower back and the spine. Over time, it can lead to the fusion of the spine, limiting movement and flexibility.

Common symptoms include:

  • Chronic pain and stiffness in the lower back, pelvis, or neck

  • Reduced spinal mobility, especially in the morning or after rest

  • Postural changes, such as forward bending

  • Fatigue and general discomfort

  • In severe cases, loss of lung capacity due to restricted rib cage movement
