My brother is an ortho surgeon. He asked me to never let anyone adjust my spine as it can pinch more nerves in my spine. Just the advice I got.

Hi! I think there is definitely varying opinions on this. I see a chiropractor and it does help me some. Any help we can get, right? My chiropractor is familiar with AS and my doctor says as long as he knows about AS and doesn't do anything harsh that is fine.

Normal from what I told
Adjust above and below
Fusions. I have fusion in my lumbar region. I am adjusted above and below. Also I no cervical
Curve a trick to try.
Take and lay down on floor fold towel under neck. Feet in a chair like
Dining chair at 90 degrees legs and feet
Bend 90 degrees. Then have hands and arm out at 45 degrees palms up.
Do this for 10 minutes as day. Should notice a difference in a few weeks.
Hang in there sometimes it takes a while to find answers !
Keep on going on the journey!!!☺

Chiropractors don't pretend to be drs but drs pretend to know what Chiropractors do.

Hi, I have had a stiff neck and lots of pain there for many years from my work over the road trucking. Arthritis in the neck then I broke it in 2001, was diagnosed with spondy a few years later. I've had many chiropractors some great some no good. I let the good ones adjust my neck. Later found out all I had to do was USE the muscles in my neck and all over to ease the arthritic pain.
Also lost the curve and a few disc, had a failed surgery to fix it after I broke it. The surgery paralyzed me when the cage separated from the rods behind my throat.they told me I would be parayalized for life from the neck down.. I got up and went back to work 6 months later. My dr believed I was dead and after 4 years I walked into his office.😁 about 18 years ago..
Spondy is a inflammatory disease with arthritis, nerve and muscle pain. I take anti-inflammatories like advil gels, omega 3 fish oil, and I work that neck Hardee than ever. When it starts getting stiff, I stretch it looking up, down and sideways working out that arthritic stiffness.
I hope this helps.
