About Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing Spondylitis is an ongoing form of joint inflammation (chronic inflammatory arthritis), primarily in the spine (vertebrae), although other joints can be involved. Overtime, the inflammation of the spinal joints leads to severe, chronic pain and discomfort as the vertebrae fuse together; this progressive bony fusion is called ankylosis. Ankylosing spondylitis typically begins in adolescents and young adults, and affects men more often than women.
