A member asked:
What is the best treatment for joint swelling in ankylosing spondylitis apart for medicines. epsom salt or oil massage will help ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anti-inflamm. Diet: Ankylosing spondylitis is a systemic, inflammatory condition that can lead to chronic back pain. Because it is systemic, topical treatments are unlikely to have much affect long term. There is some thought that an antiinflammatory diet can reduce inflammation levels in the body and can potentially have a dramatic affect.
