Spondylitis and spine pain
D.C., Chiropractor, Cary H. Rothenberg. Professional license 15265498.
Ankylosing spondylitis and other inflammatory spine conditions need careful clinical criteria. Not all back pain is mechanical. Evaluation reviews symptoms, examination, and studies to guide a conservative plan or refer when needed.

When to suspect more than mechanical pain?
- Prolonged morning stiffness that improves with movement.
- Pain that improves with exercise and worsens with prolonged rest.
- Family history of inflammatory disease.
