My nature is conservative. I always recommend conservative treatment first, drugs second, and surgery as a last resort in advanced cases.

But ultimately the choice of treatment must be made by you after considering all your doctors’ recommendations.

Exercise should start as soon as a diagnosis of Ankylosing Spondylitis is made. Particular exercises are very important to maintain normal posture. Exercise also helps to retain flexibility that can be severely restricted with this disease. Exercise also helps with pain relief.

Best Mattress for Back Pain is something that you may need to take more seriously for yourself and your family. The mattress that you sleep on every night will determine to a great extent, how pain free, energetic, and healthy your life will be. While it may not seem to be a treatment, sleeping on a good mattress really is a great treatment for back pain.

TENS Therapy can be an effective ankylosing spondylitis treatment. TENS stimulation is a type of electrical nerve stimulation that you can use at home for pain relief. A portable TENS unit can be worn on your belt and turned on as often and for as long as you like. TENS stimulation blocks pain signals thereby giving you relief. It also causes a release of (endorphins)your body's natural pain killers.

Posture can become severely deformed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Practicing techniques to help maintain normal posture can make the difference between living a normal life and being crippled by rounded posture.

Techniques would include keeping your shoulders back, in line with your ear, hip, and ankle bone. Another would be to keep your head and chin from slouching forward which puts too much stress on the muscles, joints, and nerves.

Chiropractic has always paid close attention to proper structure and function of the spine. This focus on the patients’ spine fits in perfectly when dealing with a disease that attacks the spine first.

Massage can be a great ankylosing spondylitis treatment. Massage relieves muscle tension and relaxes muscle spasms. It helps reduce swelling and inflammation of joints, ligaments, and tendons.

Heat Therapy has long been known to be effective for both pain relief and improved flexibility. It is especially helpful in chronic problem areas.

Cold Therapy is very effective at reducing pain and swelling. Some types of chronic pain also respond better to ice than any other therapy.

Trigger Point Therapy can relieve a major source of pain that is often not recognized by your doctor. The good news is, if your painful knot does radiate when pressed on, it will likely respond well to treatment.

Inversion Therapy will help relieve back pain by removing the compressive forces of gravity. Inversion will improve circulation and lymph flow, giving you a healthier immune system. It also stretches the back muscles and corrects minor spinal misalignments.

Pain Relief Gel is a natural pain relief treatment that is often a surprisingly effective Ankylosing Spondylitis treatment. It is also great for relief of arthritis pain and muscle and joint pain.

Ankylosing Spondylitis Diet - there are certain foods that are known to relieve arthritic conditions and other foods that aggravate arthritis. There are also food combination's that may make your ankylosing spondylitis pain and stiffness worse.

Cervical Support Pillow This may not seem like an ankylosing spondylitis treatment but the nerves to your upper, middle, and lower back pass through your cervical spine. If your head and neck are not properly supported while you sleep you will slip into an unhealthy posture that will lead to a number of painful conditions, and will aggravate any problem you already have.

Medication has been very helpful in controlling the pain of Ankylosing Spondylitis. Most often Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are tried first. Steroids and other stronger Medication can be used if NSAIDs aren’t enough.

Surgery can be necessary for patients with severe cases of Ankylosing Spondylitis. Joint replacement of the hip is fairly common for severe cases. Severe flexion deformities are sometimes correctable with Osteotomy surgery.

As you can see Ankylosing Spondylitis treatment ranges from very conservative to very aggressive. You and your Doctor must decide what is right for you.
