The Role of Stress in Ankylosing Spondylitis: How to Manage It

In my latest blog post, I explored the impact of stress on Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), a type of arthritis that primarily affects the spine. I discovered that stress can indeed exacerbate the symptoms of AS making management more challenging. I also found out that incorporating stress management techniques such as meditation, yoga, and mindfulness can be incredibly beneficial. Furthermore, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep also play a crucial role in managing stress and thus AS. The blog post also emphasizes the importance of seeking professional help when needed.
