Answers:
Hi Priya p. Only with the help of your doctor you can determine if you have ankylosing spondylitis and the best exercises for you. He or she will perform a series of tests that often include x-rays, a monitoring of your symptoms and a physical exam. Through these things, your doctor will be able to determine what is affecting you as well as the degree and the possible treatment for it. The symptoms of this form of arthritis are quite unique. One of them is the fusion of your vertebrae. What happens is as simple as your body doing too much to help itself. As with arthritis, an inflammation starts, it causes your body to trigger a healing device. In this case, it thinks that you need to heal your bones and therefore begins to stimulate bone growth. The problem with that is that the bony growth is actually fusing the two vertebrae together which leads you to additional problems.
Your doctor most likely will recommend a strengthening exercises to strengthen the back and abs . Strong muscles help support the spine, absorbing shock before it reaches the joints of the spine. Stretching exercises can decrease stiffness and ease back pain.
Will recommend a low-impact aerobics such as walking, swimming, or using an exercise bike or elliptical trainer increase circulation and decrease stiffness without placing undue stress on the spinal joints. Aerobics also help in keeping one’s weight down. Keeping weight under control helps as excess weight causes extra stress on the joints.
Also will recommend a Warm Water Exercises: Water supports the majority of body weight, taking stress off the joints. Exercising in warm water has extra benefits - warm water increases circulation, eases pain and loosens up stiff muscles and joints, which make exercises easier to perform. Many public swimming pools offer exercise classes for those with ankylosing spondilysis.
Consult your physician before starting an exercise program.
