Personalised Support for Ankylosing Spondylitis
At the Autoimmune Clinic, we specialise in Ankylosing Spondylitis, through a functional medicine approach.
WE GO BEYOND SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT TO UNCOVER AND ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSE OF YOUR CONDITION, HELPING YOU REGAIN CONTROL OVER YOUR HEALTH AND WELLBEING.
At the Autoimmune Clinic, we understand how challenging it can be to live with ankylosing spondylitis. This chronic condition can cause persistent pain, stiffness, and a loss of mobility, affecting your quality of life. That’s why we take a personalised, functional medicine approach to help you manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and regain flexibility.
What Is Ankylosing Spondylitis?
ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS (AS) IS A TYPE OF INFLAMMATORY ARTHRITIS THAT PRIMARILY AFFECTS THE SPINE AND SACROILIAC JOINTS, CAUSING CHRONIC PAIN, STIFFNESS, AND REDUCED MOBILITY. OVER TIME, THE INFLAMMATION CAN LEAD TO THE FUSION OF VERTEBRAE, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF FLEXIBILITY AND, IN SEVERE CASES, CHANGES IN POSTURE.
Although AS most commonly affects the spine, it can also cause pain and inflammation in other areas, such as the hips, shoulders, ribs, and even the eyes (leading to conditions like uveitis). It is a progressive condition, meaning symptoms can worsen if left untreated.
Common symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis include
Persistent pain and stiffness in the lower back and hips, often worse in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
Reduced mobility and flexibility, particularly in the spine.
Pain in other joints, such as the shoulders, ribs, or knees.
Fatigue and generalised inflammation.
Posture changes due to spinal fusion or joint stiffness.
The limitations of conventional treatment
Traditional treatments for AS, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or biologics, are effective in reducing symptoms but often don’t address the root causes of inflammation. This can leave many people struggling with persistent symptoms or experiencing flares despite treatment.
At the Autoimmune Clinic London, we take a different approach. By focusing on the underlying triggers of inflammation—such as diet, gut health, and lifestyle factors—we create personalised strategies to help you manage AS more effectively and improve your overall quality of life.
