Linda,good
articles here,your always finding these!!!![]() I never knew what AS,was very interesting!!! Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a type of progressive arthritis that leads to chronic inflammation of the spine and sacroiliac joints. It can also affect other joints and organs in the body, such as the eyes, lungs, kidneys, shoulders, knees, hips, heart, and ankles. However, AS primarily affects the axial skeleton, including the ligaments and joints. This disease causes stiffness, aching, and pain around the spine and pelvis. The disease can eventually lead to a total fusion of the spine. This occurs when the vertebrae (spinal bones) actually grow together fusing the spine due to calcification of the ligaments and discs between each vertebrae. If the vertebrae fuse together, the spine is robbed of mobility, leaving the vertebrae brittle and vulnerable to fractures. |

Postural
kyphosis-sometimes called "round
back"-is the result of poor posture. This
condition is most common in adolescents and young adults.
Slouching when standing or sitting causes the spine to
curve forward. Postural kyphosis is often accompanied by
hyperlordosis of the lumbar (lower) spine. The lumbar
spine naturally has a lordosis or inward curve.
Hyperlordosis means the lumbar spine compensates
for too much thoracic kyphosis by curving too far in the
inward direction.Didn't know I had this till I started
Chiropractic Care in 2001..Gives me more problems, with
FMS. Sometimes, breathing is tight and always spinal
pain. Get an adjustment and I'm greatly
relieved!
