AS is associated with the HLA-B27 antigen. AS affects the axial skeleton and sacroiliac joints, causing characteristic inflammatory back pain, which can lead to structural and functional impairments and a decrease in quality of life. Since this is autoimmune genetic disease so only symptomatic relief is available in allopathic treatment, they just decrease inflammation, but you can find a good alternative medicine doctor .My experience has gone good with ayurvedic treatment with physiotherapy. Physiotherapy is an essential part in the treatment of AS. It aims to alleviate pain, increase spinal mobility and functional capacity, reduce morning stiffness, correct postural deformities, increase mobility and improve the psychosocial status. Exercise routine with postural correction can be applied to delay, and possibly stop, the progression of the disease. Spinal extension exercises are the key component and should be done twice daily.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a cause of back pain in adolescents and young adults. Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of chronic inflammation of the spine and the sacroiliac joints Chronic inflammation in these areas causes pain and stiffness in and around the spine, including the neck, middle back, lower back, and buttocks. Over time, chronic inflammation of the spine (spondylitis) can lead to a complete cementing together (fusion) of the vertebrae, a process referred to as ankylosis. Ankylosis causes loss of mobility of the spine. Pt treatment deep breathing for lung expansion and stretching exercises to improve spine and joint mobility. Are also advised to sleep on a firm mattress and avoid the use of a pillow in order to prevent spine curvature. Aerobic exercise is generally encouraged as it promotes full expansion of the breathing muscles and opens the airways of the lungs.
