If the ankylosing spondylitis is caused by cold and dampness attack, it can be treated with Lei Huo Moxibustion, which can alleviate the symptoms to a certain extent, but it is difficult to cure the disease completely.
Thunder fire moxibustion belongs to a kind of treatment method unique to Chinese medicine, also known as thunder fire divine needle. Because the method has the effect of warming the meridians and dispersing cold (warming the meridians of the human body to get rid of the cold in the body), it can be used to treat ankylosing spondylitis if there are clinical manifestations of stagnation of cold, such as pain in the lower back, unfavorable activities, aggravated by cold, and reduced pain with warmth, and so on.
However, if there is heat evidence, such as the presence of burning pain in the back, etc., it is not recommended to use this method of treatment.
Moreover, it is difficult to completely cure the disease with Thunder Fire Moxibustion, and those with severe conditions should seek medical attention, and moxibustion operations need to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
