Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory arthritis that primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, causing back pain and stiffness. Over time, inflammation can reduce spinal flexibility and may also involve the hips, shoulders, and other joints.

Early diagnosis and treatment are key to controlling inflammation and preserving mobility. Management often includes anti-inflammatory therapy, biologic medications when indicated, structured exercise, and posture support.

At RAC Nepal, our rheumatologists evaluate back pain patterns, imaging findings, and inflammatory markers to diagnose and treat ankylosing spondylitis effectively. If you have chronic lower back stiffness, especially in the morning, or pain that improves with activity, book a consultation for expert ankylosing spondylitis care in Nepal.
