No need to be confused — axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) absolutely belongs here! It falls under the spondylitis umbrella, which is exactly what MySpondylitisTeam is all about.

No need to be confused — axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) absolutely belongs here! It falls under the spondylitis umbrella, which is exactly what MySpondylitisTeam is all about.

Axial spondyloarthritis actually has two subtypes:

- Nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) — where inflammation isn't yet visible on X-rays
- Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) — the radiographic form, where changes show up on imaging

Both share the same core experience: chronic pain, stiffness, and inflammation. So whether the registration form lists "spondyloarthritis," "ankylosing spondylitis," or a related term, you're in the right place.

Select whichever option most closely matches, and know that everyone here understands the journey you're on. Welcome! 🙌
