Description
Ankylosing Spondylitis is an inflammatory arthritis that affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, as well as other parts of the body. In some cases, it can lead to complete fusion of the vertebrae and total rigidity.
This condition is more common than previously thought, affecting almost one percent of the US population, typically striking young people and families. Dr. Michael H. Weisman provides a comprehensive guide to understanding AS, including its genetic background, diagnosis, treatment options, and management strategies.
With this invaluable resource, patients and their families can gain a better understanding of the disease and make informed decisions about their care. The book also explores the latest developments in medication and treatment approaches, helping to combat the debilitating effects of AS.
