Flexibility. It’s vital for a body
to be flexible. One disease that may prevent flexibility is ankylosing spondylitis. Ankylosing spondylitis isn’t
curable, but decent care by a knowledgeable
practitioner like your Malverne chiropractor may help diminish
its symptoms and lasting effects. It’s an inflammatory disease that in
time can trigger your spinal bones, the vertebrae, to fuse. Fusing
anything give rise to
less flexibility. Malverne Health & Wellness seeks to maintain flexibility in its Malverne
chiropractic patients.
WHAT ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS IS
Patients presenting to
Malverne Health & Wellness regularly have clear-cut
conditions that make clear their back pain
experience. Occasionally, more one-of-a-kind
conditions like ankylosing spondylitis arrive, too. In a research
investigation 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 timeframe for diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis from a diagnosis of back pain to a referral to a rheumatologist was 307 days. (1) Your Malverne chiropractor understands
the symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis and will set up that
referral as necessary.
WHAT ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS AFFECTS
Malverne Health & Wellness, being a Malverne back pain
specialist clinic, will see ankylosing spondylitis patients since it
is a spine-related disease.
Ankylosing spondylitis most frequently involves
the spine, especially the low back and sometimes
the sacroiliac joint. Wherever tendons and ligaments attach to
bone (spine, breastbone to ribs, hip, shoulder joint), ankylosing spondylitis
may occur. Ankylosing spondylitis doesn’t begin
and does its thing then quit. 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 likely to
suffer with ankylosing spondylitis than women. While ankylosing spondylitis does its
fusion thing, Malverne Health & Wellness may be able to help guide its
fusing ways to help maintain as much flexibility in its fused areas and an upright posture as possible instead of the hyperkyphosis curving that often results
in an ankylosing spondylitis spine.
HOW Malverne CHIROPRACTIC MAY HELP Malverne
ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS SUFFERERS
Diagnosing Malverne ankylosing spondylitis may be complicated
in some cases as symptoms may vary from neck pain and stiffness to
low back pain and hip pain. For some, imaging (MRI, xray)
and lab tests are performed in addition to the classic
clinical examination. Once diagnosed though, mixing medical
treatment via a rheumatologist with chiropractic treatment (spinal
manipulation, Cox® Technic) can bring about some relief like pain reduction and improved activities of daily living. (2) Your
Malverne chiropractor effectively and enthusiastically
works in partnership with Malverne
healthcare colleagues to help Malverne chiropractic
patients find the gentle care they need.
