Concerned about low back pain in children

When we send our children to school every day, we pay proper attention to their gait and arrange for them to be seen by a pediatric rheumatologist as early as possible if abnormalities appear. The diagnosis and treatment of chronic spondyloarthropathies in children can now be diagnosed earlier. In particular, MRI and immune-specific tests (HLA-B27, anti-CCP antibodies, etc.) allow early diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis and juvenile ankylosing spondylitis. In recent years, with the clinical application of new drugs (anti-inflammatory therapy, combined protocols, biological agents), most children can achieve remission and the incidence of severe disease has decreased significantly.
