Ankylosing spondylitis

There are some diseases in our modern lifestyle that do not leave us for long. One of which is the disease of spondylosis. We also know as spondylitis. Spondylosis is made up of two Greek words ‘spondyl’ and ‘eytis’. Spondyl means vertebra and ‘itis’ means inflammation. It means that the complaint of inflammation in the vertebra is called spondylitis. In this, the sufferer has a lot of pain in moving the neck right-left and up-down. The problem of spondylosis usually affects the spine. Spondylosis is caused by abnormal growth of the spine bones and a lack of calcium in the cushion between the vertebrates and sliding away from their place.

Its victims are usually men and women who have crossed 40 years of age. Due to today’s lifestyle changes, people are suffering from problems like spondylitis at a young age. Experts believe that the most prominent cause of this problem is incorrect posture, which puts pressure on the muscles. Apart from this, calcium deficiency is another important reason in the body. When compared to data from a decade ago, the number of patients of this disease has increased three times. Those youth are found more disturbed, who work in IT industry or BPO or people who spend more time in front of computer. It is estimated that every seventh person in our country is disturbed by neck and back pain or joint pain.
