Research Notes on Ankylosing Spondylitis Treatment


Treatment for ankylosing spondylitis usually involves life long medication and exercise regimen. Medication will help control pain and minimize stiffness, while an exercise program will help the back maintain strength and mobility.1 Rarely, surgery may be used for complications caused by untreated ankylosing spondylitis.1

Fast Facts:

  • Ankylosing spondylitis is a rheumatic disease that causes inflammation of the spine and joints in the lower back.
  • Bathing in warm water, swimming, and exercise are all activities that can help relieve stiffness.2
  • Bracing can be used to treat spinal fractures caused by ankylosing spondylitis.2
