What is Ankylosing Spondylitis? Causes, Symptoms, and Diagnosis EXPLAINED

Описание: In this video, Dr. Rowe helps answer 'What is ankylosing spondylitis?', including its common symptoms, progression and how it’s diagnosed.

Ankylosing spondylitis (or AS) is an auto-immune, rheumatic condition that primarily affects the sacroiliac (SI) joints and the spine.

To help explain it a bit better, this video is broken down into 3 parts: causes, symptoms, and how it’s commonly diagnosed.

Discussed in this video is the HLA-B27 genetic marker (plus other possible causes), and radiographic signs including: sacroiliitis, syndesmophytes, bamboo spine and lumbar squaring.

Also, Dr. Rowe goes over what to do for treatment options (at the end of the video) if you have been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis.
