Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory arthritic condition that affects the joints, spine and large joints. The most common symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis are constant pain and stiffness. The pain usually starts at the sacroiliac joint, which is located in the pelvis.
Here are some of the other ankylosing spondylitis symptoms that you might experience:
The cause of ankylosing spondylitis is largely unknown, but we do know that genetics play a significant role. HLA-B27 is a gene that is present in nearly 90% of people who develop ankylosing spondylitis. However, not everyone who carries the gene will develop the condition – only 1-2% of people with this gene will develop ankylosing spondylitis. Scientists believe that there are additional unknown factors that are necessary for the disease to appear.

I have been visiting the clinic for the past two years and my experience has been great. Dr. Kant is very knowledgeable and he treats his patients with full dedication and patience. I underwent treatment for my neck and back pain and I got relief after just a few sessions of dry needling. So, I would recommend everyone to visit KALP HEALTH CARE for any kind of physiotherapy treatment.
At the age of 53, a back problem is scary when a doctor tells you that you need 10 days of bed rest or surgery! I went to Kalp expecting the usual steps of physiotherapy, but I couldn't even stand up straight or get out of bed without shooting pain. This is an example of not judging a book by its cover. Dr. Kant is a simple man but a magician when it comes to his treatment. He is passionate and positive about his treatment and knows the human body like the back of his hand. A dedicated team with Dr. Monika and Dr. Rakesh got me on my feet in just 3 days. This is the best treatment I could have asked for!
Dr. Kant and his clinic are excellent in treating muscular and spinal issues - it's very clean and hygienic. Dr. Kant has great understanding and knowledge, quickly reaching to the root of what's wrong and able to provide Relief within a few sessions. I found a solution to my spine problem after seeking treatment from Dr. Kant - I had tried all kinds of treatments before but hadn't been able to find any relief.

True, Those who have chronic, severe inflammation of the spine can develop a complete bony fusion of the spine. Over time, chronic inflammation of the spine (spondylitis) can lead to a complete cementing together (fusion) of the vertebrae, a process referred to as ankylosis. Once completely fused, the pain in the spine disappears, but the affected individual has a complete loss of spine mobility in the affected area.
True, Ankylosing spondylitis is 2 to 3 times more common in men than in women. In women, joints away from the spine are more frequently affected than in men. Ankylosing spondylitis affects all age groups, including children. The most common age of onset of symptoms is in the second and third decades of life.
The tendency to develop ankylosing spondylitis is believed to be genetically inherited, and the majority (nearly 90%) of Caucasian people with ankylosing spondylitis is born with a gene known as the HLA-B27 gene.
Difficulty in breathing.
Reduced ability to expand the chest can be a complication of ankylosing spondylitis. This is because ankylosing spondylitis can cause inflammation and limited range of motion of the spine as well as the joints where the ribs attach to the spine. This leads to limited ability to expand the chest wall, which is essential for optimal breathing.
Neither fat-free, gluten-free, nor vegetarian diets have been shown to be helpful for people with ankylosing spondylitis.
A healthy diet and exercise are good for everyone but may be especially helpful if you have ankylosing spondylitis. In people with rheumatoid arthritis, another inflammatory joint disease, a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids (found in cold-water fish, flax seeds, and walnuts) has been shown to help in reducing joint inflammation. Although the usefulness of omega-3 fatty acids is not as well studied in people with ankylosing spondylitis, there is some evidence that omega-3 supplements could reduce disease activity in people with ankylosing spondylitis.
