Patient's question:
Hello! My spine has never been in great condition, but this time, the spinal problem I'm experiencing is different from before—it's causing severe pain from the waist to the neck. Painkillers haven't helped at all, and it turns out to be ankylosing spondylitis. I'm eager to know, what are the latest treatments for ankylosing spondylitis?Doctor's answer:
General ankylosing spondylitis can be treated with biologic agents for immunotherapy and physical therapy, activity therapy, to stabilize clinical diagnostic symptoms and slow down the spread of inflammation. However, it is also necessary to coordinate with anti-rheumatic drugs, corticosteroids, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The latest therapy does not necessarily mean the best, as personalized treatment is key to reducing individual quality of life. Pay attention to daily spinal care.
