BEST PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT FOR ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS IN NEW FRIENDS COLONY

Ankylosing Spondylitis is a long-term condition that mainly affects the spine and nearby joints. In simple terms, it causes inflammation and stiffness in the back, especially in the lower back and hip area. Over time, if not treated properly, the bones of the spine may slowly fuse together, making the back less flexible and causing difficulty in movement and posture.This condition usually starts in young adults and is more common in males, but females can also develop it. The exact cause is not fully known, but it is linked to an overactive immune system and genetic factors such as the HLA-B27 gene. In ankylosing spondylitis, the body mistakenly attacks its own joints and tissues, leading to pain and inflammation. Common symptoms include:Persistent lower back pain, Morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes, Pain improving with movement but worsening with rest, Neck stiffness, Hip or shoulder pain, Tiredness and reduced flexibility Poor posture in long-standing cases Physiotherapy plays a very important role in managing ankylosing spondylitis. Regular physiotherapy helps reduce stiffness, improve posture, maintain spinal mobility, and decrease pain. Stretching exercises, spinal mobility exercises, breathing exercises, posture correction, and strengthening exercises are commonly used. Patients are also taught ergonomic advice and daily activity modifications to protect the spine.

Early physiotherapy treatment is important because it helps prevent severe stiffness and spinal deformity. With regular exercise, proper posture care, and advanced physiotherapy management, many people with ankylosing spondylitis can continue their daily activities comfortably and maintain a better quality of life.
