Diagnosis first: First, make sure that the diagnosis is DISH and not the more treatable disease, ankylosing spondylitis. Diagnosis is usually done by a rheumatologist or an orthopedic surgeon or a spine surgeon. Unfortunately, DISH treatment is limited but can involve other health providers such as physical therapists.
