In the battle to stay healthy & fit nowadays, technologygives an edge by offering mankind the comfort of tracking fitness efforts and helpsin diagnosing the health deviations at earliest. It helps in mproving our health care sector.  

But the problem arises when we overuse technology &ourselves too. The humans have been mutated into a machine which starts workingfrom dawn to dusk and the time an individual being glued to the chair in front of digital screen is now reaching its zenith, having no time for exercise or workout which affects the kinematics of joints. Another facet is the poor sitting posture causing strain in neck and back. All these have given birth to a raft of vertebral joint problems affecting a large sector of today’spopulation.     

Spondylitis is a form of arthritis that commonly occurs inthe spine, although it can affect other joints as well. When spondylitisdevelops within the spine, the vertebral column becomes extremely inflamed. Pain and other symptoms often result. Sometimes vertebral bones even fuse together, forming a highly rigid spine and causing limited mobility. 

Statistically, men are more likely to develop spondylitisthan women. Symptoms typically begin appearing in earlyadulthood, with the loss of spinal flexibility and a hunched posture being twoof the most prominent hallmarks.  

Causes 

There is no known cause for spondylitis, but research showsthat a patient’s genetics, environment and immune system may be determiningfactors for the presence of this condition.  

Some elements that are associated with spondylitis include: 

• Previous inflammation in joints and tissues,which may exacerbate similar problems spurred by spondylitis 

• Lack of exercise 

• Having obesity 

• Smoking or the excessive use of alcohol 

• Already established back problems, such asdegenerative disc disease or spinal stenosis. 

Symptoms 

Spondylitis is commonly confused with mechanical back pain,which usually surfaces after an actual spine injury. In contrast, spondylitisinvolves inflammation in the spinal joints and typically does not result from a single definitive incident. Patients with spondylitis often times experience: 

• Pain and stiffness anywhere from the neckthrough the lower back and buttocks that lasts for more than 3 months 

• Discomfort that is worse in the morning or afterlong periods of inactivity and seems to lessen with movement and exercise 

• Progressive loss of spinal flexibility and asensation of rigidity 

• Hunched or stooped posture 

• Overgrowth of bones, commonly called bonyfusion, that may affect daily activities 

As spondylitis matures, it may begin to inhibit multipleregions of the body. The joints between vertebrae within the spine and thepelvis are vulnerable to spondylitis, as well as the hip and shoulder joints. Even the places where ligaments and tendons attach to the spinal bones can become affected by spondylitis. 

Diagnosis:  

• X-ray which may show the development of spurs(bony outgrowths) on the vertebrae. 

• MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) can be done toconfirm the diagnosis and judge the extent of neural damage if any. 

• EMG (Electromyography)  

• Myelography is used to demonstrate nerve rootlesion. 

Prevention & Relief:  

• Maintain posture. 

• Learn to lift correctly. 

• Exercise regularly. (Aerobic exercise isespecially good.) 

• Attain and maintain a healthy body weight. 

• Eat healthy (a well-balanced, low-fat diet richin fruits and vegetables). 

• Stop smoking.  

• Avoid excessive use of alcohol. 

• Get plenty of rest.
