Treatment goals ① Control inflammation: Controlling the development of inflammation is the key to treating this disease, and the earlier it is, the better the prognosis is. Only when inflammation is controlled can the development of the disease be stopped. ②Restore the functional activities of the affected joints and the physiological curvature of the spine: for patients in the middle and late stages, on the basis of inflammation control, through internal Chinese medicine, medicinal bath, fumigation, massage, traction and other techniques, can achieve the disappearance of pain, so that the deformed and stiff joints return to normal or close to normal, to be able to take care of themselves and to be able to perform general work. Patient education is the guarantee of successful treatment of ankylosing spondylitis, the purpose of which is: ① early diagnosis and the administration of reasonable medication is the key to cure the disease and prevent disability. ②For patients with confirmed diagnosis, let them understand the nature, course and prognosis of the disease, and make them realize the significance of treatment and its long-term nature, as well as the persistence of the disease and the degree of harm, so as to improve the patient’s motivation and treatment persistence. ③To understand the therapeutic effects of drugs and the possible side effects and treatment methods in the course of treatment, so as to avoid unnecessary interruption of medication and rebound of the disease. ④ Make patients aware of the importance of good daily behavior and medical eugenics, and give guidance.

Second, medical sports Sports are especially important for patients with ankylosing spondylitis, such as maintaining the physiological curvature of the spine, preventing ligament adhesions, maintaining good thoracic mobility, avoiding involvement of respiratory function, preventing the formation of disuse muscle atrophy of the limbs, and maintaining bone density and strength. ① Exercises to maintain thoracic mobility, such as deep breathing and chest expansion exercises. ② Exercises to maintain the mobility of the spine, including movements and rotations of the neck and waist in all directions. ③Limb exercises: such as walking, push-ups, taijiquan, gymnastics, etc. Drug therapy is the main treatment for this disease, and it is the key to control the inflammation of the disease and restore the functional activities of each joint. After several years of clinical research and treatment, we have now worked out a set of more scientific and very reliable treatment methods for this disease. There are three lines of drugs: ① First-line drugs: mainly for early stage patients, such as heel pain, knee and toe pain and joint swelling, effusion, alternating pain in both hip joints, morning stiffness in the back, which is reduced after activity. The symptoms can be relieved by taking general anti-rheumatic drugs (such as anti-inflammatory pain, naproxen, diclofenac pain, etc.) orally. The inflammation is limited to the peripheral joints and ligament attachment points, and the disease is shallow, so it is easier to control. ②Second-line drugs: mainly applied to patients in the middle stage and patients with more serious peripheral joint damage. Such as double hip and joint damage can not walk, the knee joint is seriously involved, joint swelling, difficult to flex and extend or long-term chronic disease suddenly acute attack, long-term high fever, etc.. Patients in this period have severe systemic symptoms and severe pain in the affected joints. The Chinese medicine diagnosis is based on activating blood circulation, removing blood stasis, clearing heat and cooling blood, and relieving pain. ③Third-line drugs: mainly applied to patients in the late stage. Most of the affected joints have stiffness, limited functional activities, straightening or forward flexion deformity of the lumbar and cervical spine, accompanied by long-term low fever, emaciation and anemia. In addition to internal herbal medicine and inflammation control, patients at this stage should also take medicinal baths, fumigation, traction, small acupuncture and manipulation to restore the functional activities of the joints and the physiological curvature of the spine. Chinese medicine is mainly based on nourishing qi and blood, nourishing liver and kidney, and dredging and activating tendons.
