Early stages of ankylosing spondylitis can usually be controlled if professional treatment is given in a timely manner and in accordance with medical advice. If treatment is not timely, it may not be possible to control the rate of progression of the disease.
Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease. If professional treatment is given in the early stages of the disease as prescribed by the doctor, the disease can usually be controlled and stabilized in the long term to slow down the progression of the disease, but it cannot be cured at present. If the treatment is not timely and correct, it may lead to accelerated progression of the disease and even disability.
It is recommended that patients with ankylosing spondylitis should be treated early. If the pain is severe, oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as diclofenac sodium and aspirin, can be taken as prescribed by the doctor.
Ankylosing spondylitis can usually be controlled in the early stages, and it is recommended to treat the disease as soon as possible after diagnosis to avoid delays.
