Description

Spondylitis is a type of inflammatory arthritis that affects the spine, causing chronic pain, stiffness, and potentially leading to the fusing of spinal vertebrae. The most common form is ankylosing spondylitis (AS), an autoimmune condition that can also affect other joints and organs, such as the eyes and bowels. While there's no cure, treatments can manage symptoms, improve mobility, and slow the disease's progression.
