Is There A Cure For Ankylosing Spondylitis?Ankylosing Spondylitis is a form of arthritis that affects the spinal joints. While some people who have the disease incur only transient bouts of back pain and stiffness, others experience severe back pain and eventually a high degree of stiffness in the spine. The pain associated with AS is a result of inflammation of the joints. If the inflammation is allowed to continue, it can cause small bony outgrowths to begin to extend from the vertebrae. The growths can eventually cross from one vertebra to the next. If that happens, the result can be stiffness and immobility. There are 24 spinal vertebrae, but if only two become stiff, function can become impaired. Involvement of additional vertebrae can lead to disability if the disease is allowed to progress. Unfortunately, there is no recognized cure for ankylosing spondylitis at this time. Before a cure can be formulated, the cause of the disease must be discovered, and at this time, the cause of AS is still unknown. Researchers do know that around ninety-five percent of the people who have AS also posess the HLA-B27 gene, so this may provide some clues to formulating a cure. However, only two percent of the individuals with the HLA-B27 gene ever develop ankylosing spondylitis, so there obviously are other factors involved. A number of different eating plans have been offered as cures for arthritis. They usually involve removing a particular group of foods from one's diet. Some individuals have claimed to have success with these diets in treating AS. It couldn't hurt to give one of these diets a try if one feels they can stick to it long enough to truly test it. It's necessary to strictly observe the tenents of the eating plan for a period of time to know for sure if it will work or not. If a person can only go a day or two before reverting to their former way of eating, they're just wasting their time. While there is no recognized cure at this time, most people with AS do well and are able to live a normal life, albeit sometimes with modifications. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I Cured My Arthritis You Can Too" A Natural Arthritis Remedy...
