Natural Cures for Anklyosing Spondylitis

Anklyosing Spondylitis is a rare rheumatological condition that causes stiffness and inflammation of the spine and sacroiliac joints, and is characterized by a "bent forward" posture. The condition may be linked to genetic predisposition, and 90 percent of all cases occur in men between the ages of 20-40.

Early, mild symptoms of Anklyosing Spondylitis include recurring low back pain, pain along that sciatic nerve that runs from the buttocks down to the leg and foot, and stiffness on rising in the morning. As the condition progresses, the pain can spreads from the low back up to middle and/or higher back, and up to the neck. Other symptoms include pain in arms and legs, fatigue, muscle rigidity and more stiffness, anemia, and weight loss.

There are many natural cures for Anklyosing Spondylitis that do not involve the use of pharmaceutical drugs. Many commonly prescribed painkillers have harmful side effects. Many over-the-counter analgesics can cause gastrointestinal problems, while the opioids that are frequently prescribed by doctors are not only addictive, but also lead to constipation, nausea, vomiting and in serious cases, seizures. In other words, those pain medications are actually making you sick, while purporting to treat your ailments.
