Ankylosing Spondylitis is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine, leading to stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility. Over time, the vertebrae may fuse, making movement more difficult. At DYTE, our focus is on reducing inflammation, easing stiffness, and strengthening the spine through holistic balance and natural care.
Symptoms
Persistent pain and stiffness in the lower back and hips
Reduced flexibility in the spine
Pain that worsens after rest or early in the morning
Fatigue and loss of energy
Pain in shoulders, neck, or chest
In advanced cases, curvature or rigidity of the spine
Causes
Genetic predisposition (HLA-B27 gene)
Autoimmune inflammation of spinal joints
Chronic imbalance of Vata and Kapha doshas leading to stiffness and inflammation
Poor posture and lack of physical activity
Long-term stress or irregular sleep cycles
Weak digestive fire (Agni) contributing to toxin buildup (Ama) in joints
