How is Ankylosing Spondylitis Treated?
After being diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, the key to treatment lies in alleviating symptoms and improving the quality of life. This can be achieved through various methods such as general treatment, pharmacological treatment, and physical therapy.
1. In terms of general treatment, mild symptoms can be relieved through appropriate bed rest. However, it is important to avoid vigorous exercise and frequent bending to prevent worsening of the condition.
2. Pharmacological treatment is suitable for patients with more severe pain. Under the guidance of a doctor, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Celecoxib Capsules and Diclofenac Sodium Sustained Release Tablets can be used to relieve pain. Glucocorticoids such as Dexamethasone Injection and Prednisolone Acetate Injection can also be used as adjuvants based on a doctor's recommendation.
3. If the aforementioned methods are ineffective, physical therapy can be considered as a further option. Techniques such as infrared radiation and microwave therapy can promote local blood circulation and achieve a certain degree of pain relief. For some patients, surgical treatment may be necessary to help improve their physical condition.
In daily life, it is very important to regularly visit the hospital for follow-up exams, as this allows for timely understanding of changes in one's physical condition and adjustments to the treatment plan. It should be noted that ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic disease that requires long-term and personalized treatment. Through active treatment and adjustments to lifestyle, many patients can effectively control their condition and maintain a good quality of life.
We hope that when facing this disease, everyone can maintain a positive mindset, closely cooperate with their doctor, and find the most suitable treatment method for themselves.
