Spondylitis
Spondylitis is inflammation of the joints of the spine. When it is persistent, it can cause stiffness and limit movement of the back, especially in the lower back and pelvis.
Frequent symptoms: Back pain that tends to be more noticeable at rest or in the morning, stiffness that improves with movement, and, in some cases, discomfort in other joints.
Common causes: Some forms have an inflammatory component related to the body's defense system, and family history may play a role.
Which specialist treats it? The rheumatologist is the one who usually studies spondylitis, with support from the orthopedist and rehabilitation. When back pain persists for weeks, the recommended step is to seek a professional evaluation.
