What It Is

Spondyloarthritis is a type of inflammatory arthritis that primarily targets the spine, sacroiliac joints, and sometimes peripheral joints. It can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced spinal flexibility.

Procedure

Diagnosis involves a detailed history, physical examination, blood tests (HLA-B27), and imaging such as X-rays or MRI. Dr. Verma then develops a customised treatment plan including medications, physiotherapy, and lifestyle guidance.

Why It Happens

It occurs due to genetic predisposition and immune-mediated inflammation, leading to joint and spine involvement.
