Manahawkin Chiropractic Center helps Manahawkin 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 decent care by a knowledgeable practitioner like your Manahawkin chiropractor may help lessen its symptoms and lasting effects. It’s an inflammatory disease that in time can cause your spinal bones, the vertebrae, to fuse. Fusing anything makes it less flexible. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center looks to maintain flexibility in its Manahawkin chiropractic patients.
WHAT ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS IS
Patients visiting Manahawkin Chiropractic Center often have straightforward conditions that clarify their back pain experience. Infrequently, more one-of-a-kind conditions like ankylosing spondylitis arrive, too. In a study of 3336 patients with ankylosing spondylitis, most ankylosing spondylitis patients were diagnosed outside 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 diagnosis of back pain to a rheumatology referral was 307 days. (1) Your Manahawkin chiropractor knows the symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis and will set up that referral as necessary.
WHAT ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS AFFECTS
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center, being a Manahawkin back pain specialist clinic, will see ankylosing spondylitis patients since it is a disease that affects the spine. Ankylosing spondylitis most frequently affects the spine, particularly the low back and occasionally the sacroiliac joint. Wherever tendons and ligaments attach to bone (spine, breastbone to ribs, hip, shoulder joint), ankylosing spondylitis may arise. Ankylosing spondylitis doesn’t 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 make its sufferer tired, and men are more likely to suffer with ankylosing spondylitis than women. While ankylosing spondylitis does its fusion thing, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 comes to an ankylosing spondylitis spine.
HOW Manahawkin CHIROPRACTIC MAY HELP Manahawkin ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS SUFFERERS
Diagnosing Manahawkin ankylosing spondylitis may be complicated in some cases as symptoms may range from neck pain and stiffness to low back pain and hip pain. For some, imaging (MRI, xray) and lab tests are performed as well as the typical clinical examination. Once diagnosed though, combining 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.
