Living with Ankylosing Spondylitis

If you’re living with Ankylosing Spondylitis, also known as Curved Spine, you understand how difficult and painful it can be. Even if you are on a medication regime, there are still plenty of sleepless nights of pain. If you have this condition and you are looking for ways to help ease your pain, we have the 3 best solutions. Keep reading to learn more about how to manage your Ankylosing Spondylitis pain and how a Curved Spine Clinical Study in Canoga Park may help you.

What is Ankylosing Spondylitis?

Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis that causes inflammation in the joints and ligaments of the spine. It may also affect peripheral joints like the knees, ankles, and hips. Normally, the joints and ligaments in the spine help us move and bend. If you have ankylosing spondylitis, the inflammation in the joints and tissues of the spine can cause stiffness. In severe cases, this may cause the vertebrae (bones in the spine) to fuse (grow together). When the vertebrae fuse, it can lead to a rigid and inflexible spine.

Tip 1: Taking Care of Your Overall Body

One of the best things you can do for your body in general, including if you are suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis, is to take care of your overall body. This includes incorporating activities and treatments such as:

• Exercise
• Acupuncture
• Massage
• Stretching
• Yoga
• Posture
• Physical therapy

Tip 2: Focus On Your Sleep

One of the most difficult things that individuals with this condition suffer from is poor sleep. Pain due to Ankylosing Spondylitis can cause sleepless nights, which leads to even more stiffness and pain.

Some ways you can help give yourself a better night sleep is to:

• Invest in a better mattress
• Take a hot shower or bath right before bed
• Avoid caffeine or sugar right before bed
• Avoid eating fried or spicy food too soon before bed
• Invest in a body pillow or extra pillows so that you can achieve maximum comfort for your back
