The disease occurs in men, and men between the ages of 20 and 30 is the high incidence, and in this group of people with their own blood relatives, such as hunchback, plate back and other changes, and I am HLA-B27 positive, should be particularly alert to the development of ankylosing spondylitis, of course, simple HLA-B27 positive will not necessarily develop ankylosing spondylitis, but this group of people should actively prevent intestinal, urinary tract infections, etc. However, these people should actively prevent intestinal and urinary tract infections and pay attention to dietary hygiene. If you have any of these diseases, you should actively fight the infection to prevent the development of ankylosing spondylitis. Environmental factors are also not to be underestimated as a cause, so these people must be careful in their lives to prevent the evil of wind, humidity and cold, pay attention to warmth in all seasons, and enhance the body’s immune function.
The old saying goes, “If you have the right energy in your body, you can’t do it” and “If you have the right energy, you must have the wrong energy”. The body is strong enough to resist the attack of wind, cold and moisture. If the body is weak and insufficient, or due to emotions, diet, labor and internal injuries resulting in weakness of the qi and blood, then prone to disease. As in the same disease-causing conditions, some people are sick, some people are healthy, is the reason. Therefore, wind, cold and dampness, and some sources of infection, although the causative factors, but if a person’s body resistance to enhance, it is not necessarily sick. On the contrary, the wind, cold and damp evil can invade the meridians, tendons and veins, resulting in Qi and blood blockage and disease. Therefore, you should pay attention to actively exercise, have a healthy body, a good attitude, and treat life correctly. Do not worry and live negatively because you are at risk for ankylosing spondylitis. It is not inevitable that you will develop ankylosing spondylitis, nor is it unquestionably dominant, like hemophilia.
Rehabilitation exercises for ankylosing spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis is a systemic disease of unknown cause, mainly involving the sacral joints, hip joints, intercolumnar joints, and cribriform joints, with the most common lesions in the sacral joints, and peripheral joint symptoms in about 1/3 of patients.
Its treatment methods are mainly, drug therapy, physical therapy, surgical therapy, etc., after the condition has improved, attention should be paid to the rehabilitation period of exercise.

Care for patients with ankylosing spondylitis
The purpose of ankylosing spondylitis treatment care is to strive to delay the course of the disease and reduce the occurrence of deformities.
Psychological care: This disease is an insidious chronic progressive joint disease. Educate the patient about the disease, understand the prevention and treatment methods, carry out treatment and exercise as required, and master the methods of self-care. This is especially important to reduce joint dysfunction and delay the course of the disease until the patient can participate in normal work and study.
Basic principles of activity: early and appropriate activities can reduce the degree of spinal and joint deformity. Flexion and extension exercises of the spine and hip should be performed twice a day, with each activity limited to the amount that does not aggravate joint symptoms the next day. The paravertebral muscles should be massaged and loosened before the activity, which can reduce pain and prevent muscle damage. Meanwhile, physiotherapy methods such as hydrotherapy and ultrashort wave can play a role in relieving muscle spasm, improving blood circulation and anti-inflammatory and pain relief. Delay the care of thought sense deformity: maintain upright posture and normal height. Sleep on low pillows to reduce cervical forward bending. Sleep on a hard bed. Pay attention to reduce the weight-bearing of the spine and avoid long-term bending activities. Patients who are overly obese should reduce their weight so as to reduce the burden on the joints.
Prevent infection: Due to the involvement of the thorax, lung infection is prone to occur, so patients should be encouraged to perform chest expansion and deep breathing every day. For patients who are unable to take care of themselves, they should be turned and patted on the back and encouraged to cough.

Also check the liver and kidney function regularly to enhance the protection of liver and kidney function.
