Is your back pain and stiffness worst in the morning, but seems to ease up once you get moving? Does rest seem to make it feel worse, not better?
If this sounds familiar, it might be more than just everyday wear and tear. This specific pattern is a key sign of inflammatory back pain, which could be related to a condition called Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
AS is a type of inflammatory arthritis that primarily affects the spine. Because it can be mistaken for regular back pain, many people live with it for years without answers. Getting an evaluation early is key to protecting your long-term mobility.
While there is no cure for AS, chiropractic care can be an important part of your support team. Our focus is on: 👐 Gentle techniques to improve mobility in stiff joints 🚶‍♀️ Personalized movement and lifestyle advice 😌 Easing muscle tension with soft tissue therapy
If your back pain story sounds like this, don't ignore it. An evaluation is the first step. Walk into our Tiger Town clinic to have a conversation with one of our doctors.
