Chronic inflammatory disease of the spine and nearby joints which can cause pain and stiffness in the spine, neck, hips, jaw and rib cage.
a chronic form of spondylitis primarily in males and marked by impaired mobility of the spine; sometimes leads to ankylosis
A disease process of unknown aetiology, characterised by the presence of bilateral sacroiliitis with inflammatory changes in the spinal joints. The onset is most common in males in their late teens to early twenties. As the name suggests, it is a process which results in a gradual stiffening of the axial skeleton, sacroiliac joints and pubic symphysis.
A polyarthritis involving the spine, which is characterised by progressive, painful stiffening of the joints and ligaments. It almost exclusively affects young men. Interestingly the disease seems to be associated with HLA B27, those with this histocompatability antigen are 300 times more likely to get the disease, 90% of sufferers have HLA B27
An arthritis that primarily affects the spine and hips. It is more common in males.
An inflammatory arthritic disorder, primarily of the axial skeleton (sacroiliac joints and spine), but can affect hip and shoulder joints and infrequently the peripheral joints. It causes chronic back pain and leads to stiffness of the spine. Most of the affected individuals have the HLA-B27 gene.
a disease that affects the spine, causing the bones of the spine to grow together.
Stiffening or fixation of the vertebra; an inflammatory joint disease mainly affecting the spine hips, and pelvis.
a type of arthritis that affects the spine.
Recommendation Grain-free Diet"...Without starchy carbohydrates such as rice, potatoes and flour products, the number of Klebsiella are reduced in the gut and, subsequently, so is the production of antibodies to the bacteria that cause the inflammation..."
a chronic inflammatory disease of the spine and adjacent joints which causes pain and stiffness in the spine, neck, hips, jaw and rib cage.
A rheumatic disease that causes inflamed joints in the spine and sacroiliac (the joints that connect the spine and the pelvis) and, in some people, inflamed eyes and heart valves.
This is a chronic condition caused by inflammation of the joints and ligaments of the back, which affects the spine and may lead to stiffness in the back.
A painful disease which causes the joints to swell up and the bones to fuse together.
Chronic affection characterized by ankylosing type symptoms, and thickening of cartilage and articulating bones. It is often associated with arthritis of hands and legs and sometimes with iritis.( Spondylarthrite ankylosante, n.f).
A painful, inflammatory disease of unknown origin That causes the sacro-iliac joints and spinal vertebrae to fuse (ankylose) together.
