  2. Ankylosing spondylitis is diagnosed by our qualified and experienced rheumatologist. The condition is diagnosed based on various factors, including patient history, physical examination, blood tests, MRI, and X-ray. Treatment Options for Spondylitis Pain Various treatment options are available for the treatment of Ankylosing Spondylitis Painkillers & non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) Painkillers (like paracetamol) and NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen) are often the first course of ankylosing spondylitis treatment. Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) Drugs like methotrexate and sulfasalazine, help in the treatment of arthritis of arms and legs. They can help reduce the inflammation as well as prevent joint damage. These drugs usually take a long time to show effect but can make a huge difference in the stiffness and pain. Biological therapies These are new treatment options that have been showing amazing results for ankylosing spondylitis treatment. They offer a more targeted approach for stopping inflammation, but are not considered suitable for everyone. A group of biological therapies known as anti-TNF drugs are used for treating spondylitis pain. These include etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab, and golimumab. Another biological therapy used for AS is Secukinumab. It is given as injections and is a part of IL-17 inhibitors. Steroids Steroids are often prescribed for short-term flare-ups. They are directly injected into the swollen joints and also used for treating painful tendons. If you develop iritis, it would be treated using steroid eye drops. In severe cases, steroids may be provided as injections or tablets as well. Physical therapies 2/8

  3. Physiotherapy is the most important part of ankylosing spondylitis treatment. A physiotherapist will put together various exercises to help improve muscle strength and maintain mobility in the various joints. It is extremely important to exercise the neck and back to avoid stiffness. Surgery Some patients with severe cases of ankylosing spondylitis may require knee or hip replacement if they are badly affected.
