Dr. Alvin Wells answered

Specializes in Rheumatology

Spondyloarthritis: Spondyloarthritis may involve the entire spine but usually starts at the hips and sacroiliac joints. Physical therapy and exercises to maintain muscle tone and mobility is paramount. There are many effective therapies. I would happy to do a consult if needed.
