Ankylosing spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects the spine and other joints in the body. It can cause a range of symptoms, including back pain, stiffness, and difficulty with daily activities. Chiropractic care may be able to help with ankylosing spondylitis by addressing the underlying causes of these symptoms.

Your Wexford chiropractors at Grieb Chiropractic Clinic may use a variety of techniques to help manage ankylosing spondylitis and promote healing. These techniques may include spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and exercises to improve posture and reduce muscle tension.

One of the main goals of chiropractic care for ankylosing spondylitis is to improve the function of the spine and the nervous system. Your Wexford chiropractors at Grieb Chiropractic Clinic may use spinal adjustments to help restore proper alignment to the spine and reduce pressure on the nervous system. This can help to alleviate many of the common symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis, such as back pain and stiffness.

Soft tissue therapy is another treatment option that may be used by your Wexford chiropractors at Grieb Chiropractic Clinic to help with ankylosing spondylitis. This may include techniques such as massage, stretching, and trigger point therapy, which can help to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing.

Exercise is also an important part of treatment and recovery for ankylosing spondylitis. Your Wexford chiropractors at Grieb Chiropractic Clinic may prescribe specific exercises to help improve posture, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall health and well-being. These exercises can help to reduce the risk of future ankylosing spondylitis and improve daily functioning.

It is important to note that chiropractic care is not a replacement for medical treatment, and it should not be used as a sole treatment for ankylosing spondylitis. It is always important to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a medical doctor and chiropractor, for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
