Spinal Disease. Ankylosing Spondylitis

Description

Bending, leaning, lifting, stretching - activities that most of us consider to be the essence of a healthy lifestyle - are some of the benefits made possible with a normal spine. But for more than half a million people suffering from ankylosing spondylitis, these routine activities become severely limited due to inflammation and arthritic pain of the spine. This program focuses on the advancements that aid doctors in detecting and treating this disease before it has progressed too far.
