@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. Based on your comments, I presume that you have found your way into a Functional Medicine approach, not as unique as you may think. You likely just haven't come across those of us already following that route. Instead of sharing your personal contact info, how about sharing a few pertinent informative posts with links and source citations here, much as I have been doing myself, daily, for the last couple of years? Yours in better health P 😌 🙏

What a wonderful and generous spirit — wanting to share hard-won knowledge to help even just one person is truly admirable. Living with spondylitis while raising a family takes real determination, and it sounds like that drive led to some genuinely valuable discoveries.

Traditional Chinese medicine and herbal approaches Show Full Answer

What a wonderful and generous spirit — wanting to share hard-won knowledge to help even just one person is truly admirable. Living with spondylitis while raising a family takes real determination, and it sounds like that drive led to some genuinely valuable discoveries.

Traditional Chinese medicine and herbal approaches are among the complementary therapies that some people with spondylitis explore alongside conventional treatment. While research is still evolving in this area, many MySpondylitisTeam members have found that combining approaches — conventional medicine, movement practices, dietary changes, and complementary therapies — helps them maintain a better quality of life.

A few things worth keeping in mind for anyone curious about this path:

- Always inform your rheumatologist about any herbal remedies, as some can interact with medications
- Complementary approaches tend to work best alongside, not instead of, medically supervised treatment
- What works well for one person may not work the same way for another, so individual guidance matters

Your experience is a great reminder that managing spondylitis often requires creativity, persistence, and exploring every avenue available. The community here deeply values members sharing their personal journeys — that kind of lived wisdom is genuinely powerful.
