Dr. Ashish S Naik

Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, leading to severe stiffness and, in advanced stages, the fusion of vertebrae. Dr. Naik provides specialized care for patients with AS, focusing on reducing pain, improving mobility, and preventing or correcting spinal deformities caused by the disease. Treatment may include anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and, in more severe cases, corrective spinal surgery to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Dr. Naik’s expertise in treating AS ensures that patients can maintain a good quality of life despite the challenges posed by the condition.
