Spondylitis Care
Spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the spine, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility in the neck or lower back. It can be triggered by age-related degeneration, poor posture, or autoimmune conditions like ankylosing spondylitis. If left untreated, it can significantly impact your mobility and quality of life.
At Dr Bhatia Joint & Spine Clinic in Hoshiarpur, we offer specialized diagnosis and personalized treatment plans to manage spondylitis effectively—relieving pain, improving posture, and helping you regain movement with confidence.
Types of Spondylitis We Treat
At Dr Bhatia Joint & Spine Clinic, we treat all major forms of spondylitis, each with its own set of symptoms and causes. Our approach is tailored to the specific type and severity of your condition.
Cervical Spondylitis
Affects the neck region due to wear and tear of the spinal discs. Common symptoms include neck stiffness, headaches, and pain radiating to the shoulders or arms
Lumbar Spondylitis
Occurs in the lower back, often caused by disc degeneration or long-term strain. It leads to stiffness, pain, and limited mobility in the lower spine.
Ankylosing Spondylitis
An autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation in the spine and sacroiliac joints. Over time, it can lead to spinal fusion and a stooped posture if untreated.
Degenerative Spondylitis
Age-related breakdown of discs and joints in the spine, resulting in chronic pain and reduced flexibility, commonly seen in older adults.
Postural/Occupational Spondylitis
Caused by poor sitting posture or repetitive spinal strain, common among office workers, drivers, and manual laborers.
