Types of spondylitis

[Barrett62]

Spondylitis is considered a lifestyle disease and it attacks mainly those who are engaged in prolonged sitting jobs. It can also affect the middle aged and is characterised by an inflammation of vertebrae which in turn reduces the joint space and squeezes the peripheral nerve. If you neglect the pain and inflammation, it may lead to degeneration of spine in the area. There are mainly three types of spondylitis namely cervical spondylitis, Lumbar spondylitis and Ankylosing spondylitis.

Cervical Spondylitis affects the upper back which includes the back of the head and neck. The patient will feel pain and stiffness in neck region and s/he cannot move her neck or head. Lumbar spondylitis affects the lower back and is characterised by pain and stiffness in the lumbar region. The patient will find it difficult to bend and s/he cannot walk for long distances or stand for a long time owing to a cramp in legs. Ankylosing spondylitis is another common variety of the disease and it is characterized by stiffness and pain on the back. The reasons for the disease might either be aging or wrong sitting posture. The disease restricts all kinds of movements and activities of the patients and they will find it difficult to sit, stand or sleep for a long time.

Spondylitis ayurvedic treatment is found to be effective in controlling all three types of spondylitis and the therapies are usually combined with yoga.

Great info

but medically speaking I need to make difference between spodylosis ,,, which is a degenerative disease of the joints between the centra of the spinal vertebrae or neural foraminae.
and ankylosing spondylitis which is an auto immune disease affects joints in the spine and the sacroiliac joint in the pelvis, and can cause eventual fusion of the spine

because the treatment of both is very different
Treatment of spodylosis is mainly conservative physiotherapy and analgesia and some conditions surgery may be offered

for ankylosing spondylitis, beside pain killers , DMARDS and TNF alpha blockers are used too

Differentiation is also important because AS is associated with other manifestation such as Iritis (inflammation of the eye)

A.S also attacks the major joints in the body, including the shoulders, knee, foot/ankle, and fusion of the ribs. Besides Iritis in the eyes u can also develop Uveitis. It is believed that A.S is caused by bacteria in the intestines.

It seems that the TNF blockers offer the most help for people suffering A.S with anti inflammatory drugs.

Uveitis technically includes iritis
