Spondylitis is a term that is often used by medical professionals to refer to a group of conditions that can be traced to the inflammation of the vertebrae in the back or neck. In other words, spondylitis is a type of arthritis that affects the hinge-like joints in the spinal column and can cause a tremendous variety of symptoms to develop if left untreated. Effective management of spondylitis is contingent on working closely with your doctor to identify the cause, severity, and location of the problem. However, before we can delve too deeply into what spondylitis actually is, it is first important to have a rudimentary understanding of basic spinal anatomy.
The spinal column is made from stacked bones, which are known as vertebrae. These bones are absolutely essential in providing the durability and range of motion that we require from our backs and necks, and in order to function effectively, a number of anatomical components must work closely together. One great example of this design is the facet joints in the spine. These joints serve dual purposes. For starters, they must bond adjacent vertebrae together with tremendous strength so that the spine is strong enough to support much of the body�s weight. On the other hand, these joints must also be flexible enough so that we can enjoy the subtlety of movement that we demand from our back and neck. These hinge-like structures achieve these roles by having a unique design. In short, adjacent vertebrae are coated in a thin layer of cartilage and encapsulated with a thick lubricating fluid, which allow the bones to articulate against one another comfortably.
Problems occur when this cartilage gradually wears away, causing bone-on-bone contact, which can � in turn � lead to a variety of issues, including spondylitis. Frustratingly, there are a tremendous variety of kinds of arthritis that can affect the body, ranging from rheumatoid arthritis, which is an autoimmune design, to osteoarthritis, which is caused by little more than years of normal wear and tear.
In order to determine what the cause of your spondylitis is, it is extremely important to enlist the experience of a doctor, because different causes of vertebral inflammation will warrant different treatment approaches. While there is no known cure for arthritis, there are a number of different potential treatments available to you. The secret is finding the perfect combination of techniques that not only manage your pain and other symptoms, but also alleviate strain on the affected segment of the spine in order to ensure retained (or even improved) flexibility and mobility.
In many ways, spondylitis is a catch-all term that refers to the group of conditions that may have led to the development of vertebral inflammation. To learn the exact culprit of your symptoms, as well as learn how best to manage your discomfort, speak with your doctor or a spine specialist in your area today. With the right treatment approach, you can learn to overcome, or at least effectively manage, your discomfort and enjoy an improved quality of life.
