Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)
Ankylosing Spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory arthritis that mainly affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, causing pain and stiffness. Over time, it can lead to fusion of the spine, reducing mobility and flexibility.
What are the common symptoms of Ankylosing Spondylitis?
- Chronic back pain, especially in the lower back and hips
- Morning stiffness at back and hips that improves with movement
- Pain and swelling in joints (knees, ankles, shoulders)
- Reduced spinal mobility or hunched posture
- Fatigue and low energy
- Breathing difficulty due to stiffness in the rib cage
What causes Ankylosing Spondylitis?
The exact cause is unknown, but genetics plays a key role. People with the HLA-B27 gene are at higher risk. Environmental triggers and immune system imbalances may also contribute to the inflammation.
Is there a cure for This Spine Condition?
Modern medicine considers axial spondyloarthritis a lifelong condition. However, many patients at Chakrasiddh have experienced long-lasting relief and better quality of life through natural, drug-free therapies. Our goal is not just to reduce symptoms, but to treat the root cause, improve posture, and enhance day-to-day mobility.

- FAQ
How can Ankylosing Spondylitis be cured?
While modern medicine considers ankylosing spondylitis a lifelong condition, Chakrasiddh takes a different, holistic approach. Through Siddha-based therapies, including Varmam point activation, herbal oil applications, and personalized yoga movements, we aim to reduce inflammation, restore flexibility, and support long-term healing — all without medication or surgery.
How Ankylosing Spondylitis Affects the Body?
This form of inflammatory arthritis primarily affects the spine, causing stiffness, inflammation, and pain in the complete back. Over time, it can impact posture, breathing, and mobility. At Chakrasiddh, we work to reverse these effects by improving spinal alignment, clearing energy blockages, and easing muscular tension naturally.
Why is Ankylosing Spondylitis an autoimmune disease?
It is considered as an autoimmune condition because the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own joints, especially in the spine. At Chakrasiddh, we focus on rebalancing the body’s energy system and strengthening the immune response through time-tested Siddha therapies, offering a natural way to manage the condition.
Can Ankylosing Spondylitis cause cancer?
No, spinal spondyloarthritis does not cause cancer. However, long-term inflammation may increase the risk of other complications. Chakrasiddh therapies help manage inflammation and improve overall well-being by addressing the root imbalances, allowing the body to heal and function more efficiently.
What is the main cause of Ankylosing Spondylitis?
The exact cause is unknown, but genetics (especially HLA-B27 gene) plays a strong role. Chakrasiddh views it as a condition influenced by energy imbalance and lifestyle factors. Our treatments aim to restore harmony in the body, reduce inflammation, and improve spinal flexibility naturally.
