Physical Therapy Treats Spondylitis Effectively
Spondylitis is inflammatory arthritis affecting both the spine and large joints. Over time, the condition causes some vertebrae to fuse, causing pain and limited mobility.
The condition affects mainly men, and symptoms usually appear in early adulthood. Many have posture problems and a stooped stance in later life if untreated. If you are diagnosed with spondylitis, you must begin an exercise or physical therapy plan immediately.
The key ingredient in treating spondylitis is exercise. Movement is the best way to ease pain and keep a range of motion. Patients must continue to be active and maintain motion.
