Ankylosing Spondylitis Treatment in Dubai
Specialist care for inflammatory back pain, sacroiliac pain, and spinal stiffness.
Ankylosing spondylitis and axial spondyloarthritis often start as back or hip pain that improves with movement but worsens after rest. Dr. Humeira Badsha evaluates inflammatory back pain, peripheral joints, eye or gut symptoms, imaging, and treatment options including exercise, anti-inflammatory medication, and biologics when indicated.
Quick answer for patients
Back pain before age 45, morning stiffness, night pain, or alternating buttock pain should not be managed as posture pain alone.
- Back pain that improves with movement but worsens with rest
- Morning stiffness, night waking, hip or buttock pain, or heel pain
- History of uveitis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, or family history
How inflammatory back pain is assessed
Diagnosis depends on the symptom pattern, examination, inflammatory markers, HLA-B27 when useful, and imaging review.
- Spine, hip, sacroiliac, enthesis, and peripheral joint examination
- Review of X-ray, MRI, CRP/ESR, HLA-B27, and previous medication response
- Screening for eye, skin, bowel, and family history clues
Treatment options
A good plan combines medical control of inflammation with daily mobility and posture work.
- Anti-inflammatory medication when safe and appropriate
- Biologics for persistently active axial disease after assessment
- Physiotherapy, stretching, posture, breathing, sleep, and flare planning
