Spondylitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the vertebrae of the spine, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. The inflammation primarily affects the joints where the spine meets the pelvis, known as the sacroiliac joints, and can progress to involve other parts of the spine. This condition is often associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a chronic form of spondylitis that can lead to fusion of the spine, resulting in a rigid, inflexible back. The causes of spondylitis are not entirely understood, but genetic factors play a significant role. Many individuals with spondylitis test positive for the HLA-B27 gene, which is linked to the development of the condition. Other factors, such as autoimmune reactions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, also contribute to the inflammation and symptoms of spondylitis. The condition can be associated with inflammatory bowel disease or psoriasis, where it occurs as part of a broader syndrome of systemic inflammation.
Treatment for spondylitis aims to reduce inflammation, manage symptoms, and maintain mobility. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biologics, which target specific immune system components, may be prescribed for more severe cases or to slow disease progression. Physical therapy and exercise are crucial in maintaining flexibility and strengthening the back muscles, helping to manage symptoms and improve overall function. In some cases, surgical intervention may be considered if the condition leads to severe deformity or nerve compression. Regular monitoring by a rheumatologist or specialist is essential for managing the condition effectively and adapting treatment as needed.
