Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic and progressive autoimmune disease, which primarily affects the joints of the spine, causing inflammatory back pain and stiffness. The severity of AS can vary widely from one patient to another.

Treatment for AS can help to relieve pain, increase or maintain mobility and function, as well as prevent long term damage and complications.
