Spondylitis Treatment

Your spine undergoes degeneration over a number of years which is a natural part of ageing. Gradual wear and tear in your spine for a prolonged period of time due to bending, twisting, lifting, or other movements can lead to such degeneration. This can lead to a degenerative condition of your spine over time. Spondylitis is one such common inflammatory arthritic condition that affects your spine and large joints. It is among the most common spinal debility conditions in the world, particularly affecting the ageing population. Fortunately, you can treat spondylitis without requiring surgical intervention with advanced QI spine therapy.

Spondylitis often leads to neck and back pain along with stiffness. Although the exact reason for what causes spondylitis is not known, several factors can increase your risk of developing it, including:

• Age-related wear and tear of your spinal vertebrae
• A neck injury that you may have incurred in your past
• Genetic predisposition, or a family history of having spondylitis in blood-related relatives
• Microfractures caused by osteoporosis
• Infectious diseases, such as brucellosis that affect the vertebrae

Although neck and back pain accompanied by stiffness is the characteristic sign of spondylitis, the symptoms may vary from person to person. The severity of the condition may also vary from one individual to another. So, you might not be aware of your spondylitis condition if you don’t get these symptoms first. Therefore, it is important to be well aware of the symptoms of this condition so that you can seek prompt spondylitis treatment from a certified spine care doctor.

The other common symptoms associated with ankylosing spondylitis may include the following:

• Back pain, especially in your lower back
• Stiffness, which is often most severe on waking up but usually improves over the course of the day
• Pain and/or swelling of one or more joints
• Intestinal inflammation, such as Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis
• Enthesitis, which is an inflammation in the area where the tendons and ligaments meet the bone (often occurring at the back of the heel)

Conventional spondylitis treatment focuses on symptom management rather than treating it from the root. QI Spine Clinic uses some of the most unique and advanced treatment techniques that not only help manage symptoms but also treats your spine problems from the point of origin. To identify and pinpoint the exact location of your spinal debility symptoms, our spine specialists employ our innovative non-invasive, functional diagnostic test– Digital Spine Analysis (DSA) technology. By targeting the exact point of debility in your spine, our spine specialists can focus on specific treatments that help alleviate pain while improving muscle function and mobility. 

At QI Spine Clinic, we recognise the unique requirements of our patients and their conditions. By curating customised treatment protocols for spondylitis treatment, our spine specialists can ensure providing the best possible treatment with individualised attention. For spondylitis treatment, our spine specialists take a four-step approach – diagnosis, isolation, reverse 1, and reverse 2. After diagnosis, they focus on isolation treatment that helps with movements and neurodynamics to reduce pain. The reverse 1 stage involves core activation to strengthen the targeted muscles while the reverse 2 stage increases the intensity of these medical movements to reduce and even prevent pain recurrence. Through these steps, our spine doctors ensure a holistic treatment for your spondylitis symptoms. 

Spondylitis is a common spinal degenerative condition which can be successfully treated with non-invasive, conservative methods of treatment.
