Guidance and Resources for Those with Axial Spondyloarthritis

Axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) encompasses a group of inflammatory arthritis conditions primarily impacting the spine, though other joints and even organs can be involved. We invite you to discover more about this range of conditions, their diagnosis and treatment options, and ways you can manage them effectively.

Living with axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) presents daily hurdles. There are two main types: radiographic axSpA, also known as ankylosing spondylitis, visible on X-rays due to damage to the sacroiliac joints and spine, and nonradiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA) which might not show on X-rays but can be detected through MRIs. We're here to guide you with expert advice, resources, and support to navigate through your AxSpA journey and alleviate its symptoms.
