What is Ankylosing Spondylitis?
Ankylosing Spondylitis refers to the inflammation of spinal bones and vertebrae where the major symptoms experienced by the patients are stiffness, pain, and swelling in the spine. According to Ayurveda, the fusion of bones is the result of aggravated Vata Dosha and is associated with Katigata (lumbar spine), Prishtagata (back), and Grivagata Amavata (pelvis or cervical). Ankylosing spondylitis treatment in Ayurveda is considered best to control and manage the back pain, inflammation, and stiffness of the spine, shoulder, hands, and feet. People over the age of 20 years are seen to develop this disease where the major reasons discovered are unhealthy diet, incorrect posture, sedentary lifestyle, or presence of HLA-B27 gene. Ankylosing spondylitis affects the mobility of individuals and in untreated cases, leaves them bedridden along with extreme pain. The Ayurvedic treatment for Ankylosing Spondylosis (degenerative condition), Ankylosing Spondylitis (an autoimmune condition), and Lumbar Spondylosis covers various herbs, medicines, healthy regimes, exercises, natural remedies, and active lifestyle through which the person recovers within a short span of time. The treatment for Ankylosis Spondylitis with an Ayurvedic approach is the safest option as it is fully nature-based with no risk factors.
