Neurology and Neurorehabilitation

Types of spondylitis include cervical spondylitis – which affects the cervical spine, causing pain to spread the rear of the neck; lumbar spondylitis – which causes pain within the lumbar region; and ankylosing spondylitis- which is primarily a disease that affects the sacroiliac joints, causing stiffness within the neck, jaw, shoulders, hips, and knees. Spondylitis is one among the foremost common causes of back and neck pain and results from inflammation of the vertebral joints. The condition is usually not detected until it's fully developed and is causing pain. The pain is typically concentrated around the cervical region of the neck, shoulder, and lower spine, with downward-moving stinging pain.
