Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is pronounced “ANK-ki-low-sing spon-di-LIE-tis” and it is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects primarily the sacroiliac joints (where the bottom area of the spine attaches to the pelvis), spine, and hip joints. Ankylosing is a term meaning stiff or rigid and spondylitis means inflammation of the spine.  It is a form of autoimmune inflammatory arthritis that typically appears slowly and gradually.


HLA B27 - The Gene Factor


The cause of AS is not currently known, although much research is being performed to find the exact cause.  It is most common in men, particularly young adults, and less common among women.  It appears to be an inherited condition as about 96 percent of the people who have AS carry the HLA B27 gene.  Not everyone with that gene expression will develop Ankylosis Spondylitis, but there is a higher propensity to be a likely candidate and even pass it on to their children.  The condition is slow to show and slow to progress, but it can fuse your vertebrae together if it does get really advanced.


However, it can be successfully controlled and even reversed if the person is willing to modify their diet (particularly their intake of simple sugars and starchy carbohydrates) and make exercise a standard part of their daily routine. Anti-Inflammatory medications are usually prescribed by medical doctors, and may be necessary for short-term pain and inflammation relief, but they should not become the staple of your recovery program. Look at the spondylitis symotoms below to see if you have any of the symptoms of AS:


Symptoms of Ankylosing Spondylitis


  • Lower-back pain that is commonly worse at night, in the morning, or after periods of inactivity
  • Limited range of motion and lower back stiffness
  • Stiffness and pain in the hips
  • Limited expansion of the chest
  • Limited Range of motion, most specifically in the hips and spine
  • Joint swelling and pain in the knees, ankles and shoulders
  • Neck Pain, elbow and heel pain
  • Chronic fatigue or general weakness
  • Loss of appetite or weight loss
  • Eye inflammation (less common)


If you have any of these ankylosing spondylitis symptoms, it may be a good idea to see your doctor and get a proper diagnosis. Once you find out for sure, you can begin your treatment program and be on the road to complete recovery.  The sooner you find out, the sooner you can get better, and the less the AS can progress.


Standard Medicine (Your local Doctor or Hospital) has no cure for AS. Chiropractic care can provide some help in movement and pain recovery, but to free yourself from AS you need to take a holistic approach. Holistic (meaning treating the whole person) therapies can help your body restore it’s natural healthy state and improve your life in every area!


Fortunately, You can actually overcome this condition if you follow a holistic treatment path.
