Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the spine and joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can help prevent severe complications like spinal deformities.

- Use a medium-firm mattress for spine support
- Keep your neck aligned with the right number of pillows
- Apply heat therapy before bed to ease pain
- Avoid placing a cushion between your legs while sleeping
- Incorporate daily exercise
- Limit alcohol and quit smoking
- Avoid foods high in fat, salt, sugar, dairy, processed foods, and caffeine
