Summary
Due to the versatility of ankylosing spondylitis, it is difficult to give an exact prognosis for the course of the disease. Since the cause is not clearly defined and no antidote is known, the disease is considered incurable. Consistent physiotherapeutic care and adaptation to everyday life as well as good education for affected patients make it possible for many to live well with the disease.
As with most diseases, the earlier treatment can be started, the better the prospects of a good therapeutic outcome. So if you notice any signs of the disease, have them checked by an experienced physician to be on the safe side.
