Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a rare type of arthritis that causes pain and stiffness in your spine. This lifelong condition usually starts in your lower back. But it also can spread up to your neck or damage joints in other parts of your body.
"Ankylosis" means fused bones or other hard tissue. "Spondylitis" means inflammation in your spinal bones, or vertebrae. Severe cases can leave your spine hunched. AS isn’t curable. But medication and exercise can ease your pain and help keep your back strong.
