Lumbar Spondylitis or spondylitis is a condition where there is an inflammation of lumbar (lower vertebral) spine, popularly called as Back ache. The inflammation can be mild, moderate or severe leading to a range of severity of symptoms. There is not only inflammation of the vertebra but also some amount of fusing, which gives painful stiffness.
Causes
There is no known cause for the development of spondylitis. Main factors are:
GENETIC
— About 90 percent of people with spondylitis have a specific gene, HLA-B27. Individuals with this gene are at a greater risk for developing spondylitis. Physicians have blood tests to determine whether or not you are a carrier of the HLA-B27 gene.
AGE
— Most people with spondylitis developed the spine condition between the ages of 17 — 45.
GENDER
— Males develop spondylitis much more frequently than females.
SYMPTOMS
Stiffness and pain in back
Loss of mobility in the spine
Inability to twist and turn, or to do so without pain
Chronic pain and discomfort when standing, sitting, or walking
Deformity or abnormal spine curvature
