 Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a type of arthritis that affects the spine. AS can cause pain, stiffness, and stooped posture. These symptoms can lead to disability that can interfere with your life, including work and social activities, and may even cause permanent joint damage. Treatment can reduce pain and improve physical function and movement. Learn more about AS and what you can do to manage your progression and take control of your life.
