Patient's question:
I have such severe lower back pain that I can't straighten up. I went to see a doctor, and they said it's ankylosing spondylitis. They mentioned there's no really good treatment for it, and I'm almost dying of worry. Now I can't even walk normally, I'm hunched over! Hello doctor, can ankylosing spondylitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Ankylosing spondylitis can be treated to relieve symptoms, stabilize joint mobility, and improve quality of life. However, it is important to note that ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic, progressive condition that cannot be completely cured at present. Under the guidance of a doctor, patients can use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, anti-rheumatic drugs, and physical factor therapy for treatment. Physical therapy methods can also be used to alleviate the condition.
