Physiotherapy is the key to get flexible quality of life in Ankylosing Spondylitis-Dr. Ashutosh Sharma,PT

 

Ankylosing Spondylitis

 


 

Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory arthritic condition affecting the joints spine and large joints

SYMPTOMS

 Constant pain and stiffness are generally the first symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis. The pain generally starts at the sacroiliac joint which is located in the pelvis. Some of the other ankylosing spondylitis symptoms include:

  • Bony fusions which are an overgrowth of the bones
  • Respiratory problems which are caused by fusion of the ribs to the spine
  • Acute painful episodes or ‘flares’ after which the symptoms subside
  • Ligament and tendon pain with stiffness in the affected area

 CAUSES

 The exact cause of ankylosing spondylitis in unknown however we do know that genetics plays a significant role. One of the main causes of ankylosing spondylitis is the presence of a gene called HLA-B27 as nearly 90% of the people who develop ankylosing spondylitis gave this gene. Not everyone who carries the gene will develop ankylosing spondylitis – only 1-2% of individuals with this gene will develop the condition. Scientists believe that there are additional unknown factors that are necessary in order for the disease to appear.

 

TREATMENT

 

Convention treatment for ankylosing spondylitis depends almost solely on anti-inflammatory drugs, opioid painkillers, and corticosteroid injections. However, these medications have serious side effects; since there is no cure for ankylosing spondylitis, the long-term use of these medications increases the risk of other health complications. Similarly, conventional physiotherapy for ankylosing spondylitis may offer some benefits but again, this may be limited as most physiotherapists do not isolate the affected muscles but instead focus on muscle groups.

How PHYSIOTHERAPY Can Help You

our Clinic uses the most advanced physical spine function testto reveal weak areas in the spine and back. This helps our spine specialists identify key areas that require attention so that these muscles can be strengthened. This prevents stiffness, improves muscle function, and increases mobility.

Individualised Treatment Protocols

Ankylosisng spondilitis causes a decrease in chest expansion; supervised medical movements will help to open up your chest and prevent ankylosisng spondilitis breathing problems. Treatment protocols are unique to each patient depending on how the condition has affected them – this allows spine specialists to provide the best ankylosing spondilitis treatment for each patient, depending on their individual requirements.

Technologically Adanced Methods Of Pain Management

our Clinic also provides microcurrent therapy as a safe alternative to pain medication as it does not cause any side effects. This therapy uses very low-level electrical currents to reduce muscle and nerve pain and reduce inflammation. The benefits of microcurrent therapy accrue over time so several sessions will prove greater pain relief benefits.
