Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an inflammation of the vertebrae in the spine. The inflammation can lead to severe or chronic pain. In extreme cases, this form of spondylitis can cause stiffness and lack of mobility. Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine. It can also cause inflammation, pain, and stiffness to other joints in the body.
In some rare cases, the eyes, the heart, and the lungs can also be affected.
Allopathic medicine hasn’t yet figured out the exact cause for ankylosing spondylitis. They point to sex, age, and genetics as being the risk factors. In alternative medicine, inflammation such as AS is a sign that there’s a bigger problem that needs treatment. So, inflammation is not the problem, but a sign that there is a problem in the body.
