Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation helps Tonawanda ankylosing spondylitis patients with their back pain.
Flexibility. It is vital for a body to be flexible. One disease that may take flexibility away is ankylosing spondylitis. Ankylosing spondylitis is not curable, but good care by a knowledgeable practitioner like your Tonawanda chiropractor may help diminish its symptoms and lasting effects. It’s an inflammatory disease that over time can cause your spinal bones, the vertebrae, to fuse. Fusing anything give rise to less flexibility. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation looks to maintain flexibility in its Tonawanda chiropractic patients.
WHAT ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS IS
Patients presenting to Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation often have clear-cut conditions that make clear their back pain experience. Occasionally, more one-of-a-kind conditions like ankylosing spondylitis appear, too. In a study of 3336 patients with ankylosing spondylitis, most ankylosing spondylitis patients were diagnosed in other healthcare settings instead of rheumatology practices. The majority were diagnosed by other practitioners while 7% were diagnosed by chiropractors or PTs. The median time for diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis from a back pain diagnosis to a referral to a rheumatologist was 307 days.

WHAT ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS AFFECTS
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation, being a Tonawanda back pain specialist clinic, will see ankylosing spondylitis patients since it is a disease that affects the spine. Ankylosing spondylitis most frequently involves the spine, particularly the low back and sometimes the sacroiliac joint. Wherever tendons and ligaments fasten to bone (spine, breastbone to ribs, hip, shoulder joint), ankylosing spondylitis may arise. Ankylosing spondylitis does not begin and does its thing then stop. It may come and go, be worse and better, be off and on, for months or years. Ankylosing spondylitis may cause fatigue, and men are more prone to get ankylosing spondylitis than women. While ankylosing spondylitis does its fusion thing, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation may be able to help influence its fusing ways to help keep as much flexibility in its fused areas and an upright posture as possible instead of the hyperkyphosis curving that often comes to an ankylosing spondylitis spine.
HOW Tonawanda CHIROPRACTIC MAY HELP Tonawanda ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS SUFFERERS
Diagnosing Tonawanda ankylosing spondylitis may be complicated in some cases as symptoms may vary from neck pain and stiffness to low back pain and hip pain. In some cases, imaging (MRI, xray) and lab tests are performed as well as the classic clinical examination. Once diagnosed though, combining medical treatment via a rheumatologist with chiropractic treatment (spinal manipulation, Cox® Technic) can draw some relief in terms of pain reduction and improved activities of daily living.
