Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory and degenerative disease of the joints. Ankylosing Spondylitis affects the joints between the vertebrae of the spine and the joints between the spine and the pelvis (sacroiliac joints). This condition may also affect other body joints too.

The joints in the body get inflamed followed by progressive inflexibility and stiffness.

As ankylosing spondylitis is a progressive disease, which further leads to the fusion of the spine resulting in permanent stiffness and painful inflexibility of the back. It is often called a bamboo spine, as the spine tends to get stiff like a bamboo.

If rib cage is affected due to ankylosing spondylitis, it can hinder the movement of the rib cage causing difficulty in breathing.

It can also affect other organs, such as eyes, heart, lungs, or sometimes kidney.

Homeopathic Treatment for Ankylosing Spondylitis:

Ankylosing spondylitis is a long term progressive autoimmune disease, hence requires aggressive and strategic, dedicated treatment.

As per our knowledge, Homeopathy helps this disease by:

• Reducing the pain and stiffness
• Controlling the disease process
• Improving motility to a certain extent
• Reducing the dependency on painkillers.

As it is a deep-seated autoimmune disease, it needs to be treated with internal deep-acting medicines.

Homeopathic medicines are prescribed on the basis of individual case evaluation, by taking into account the patient’s current condition of the disease, cause of the disease, genetic background, immunological, and psychological parameters.

It is safe, non-toxic, and effective as a long-term therapy.

Duration of Homeopathic Treatment:

As ankylosing spondylitis is a progressive and difficult disease to treat, the exact duration of treatment cannot be decided. The treatment is long-term and it needs to be followed continuously for few months.
