Above all else, if you have been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, stay current with your medical treatment and remain completely compliant with the medication regimen that your physician has recommended. You may wish to consider physical therapy, particularly if this has been recommended. However, throughout the normal course of a day, you can do things to protect your joints and spine. If you are faced with a demanding physical task, try to section it into increments to reduce the stress on your joints, particularly your weight bearing joints (hips, knees, ankles). If you are sit in a chair for long periods, be aware of how you sit to avoid a position that is stooped. Lastly, consider whether or not your mattress is firm enough to provide the kind of support you need in order to reinforce good alignment of the spine.
