Understanding Spondyloarthritis: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment Options

Hennery Garner

Spondyloarthritis is a group of chronic inflammatory diseases that primarily impact the spine and joints, resulting in pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. This article provides an overview of spondyloarthritis, including its symptoms, causes, and available treatment options. The symptoms of spondyloarthritis include chronic back pain, joint pain and swelling, fatigue, enthesitis, eye inflammation, and skin and nail changes. The exact cause of spondyloarthritis remains unknown, but genetic and environmental factors are believed to contribute to its development. Diagnosis requires a comprehensive evaluation by a rheumatologist, involving medical history, physical examination, and various imaging studies. Treatment options for spondyloarthritis focus on managing symptoms and reducing inflammation, including medications, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and, in severe cases, surgical intervention. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help improve quality of life and slow down disease progression.
