How effective is moxibustion in treating ankylosing spondylitis?

Moxibustion for ankylosing spondylitis has very good efficacy. Moxibustion has both the effect of dispersing wind and cold, opening and activating the meridians, and local warmth, improving local blood circulation, which can dissipate local inflammation, stretching the spastic muscles and relieving pain. The patient’s spine is then sprinkled with Chinese herbs, ginger, and then moxa on top of the ginger and ignited. The patient’s back can also be suspended.
