香港執業脊醫協會發布僵直性脊椎炎治疗和管理的建議方案

中國香港 – Media OutReach – 2022年5月3日 – 5月7日是 世界僵直性脊椎炎日 香港執業脊醫協會 (CDAHK)發布了一份僵直性脊椎炎治療和管理的建議方案。 香港執業脊醫協會 (CDAHK)主席朱君璞醫生介绍到, 「腰痛患者通常找脊醫門診,脊醫可以用保守治療方式管理僵直性脊椎炎患者的病徵。」脊骨神經科作為肌肉骨骼專家學者,專注於診斷和治療脊柱疾病(1-3),僵直性脊椎炎也是脊醫常見的脊椎疾病。

僵直性脊椎炎會導致脊柱、骶骨、骨盆、臀部和關節出現嚴重的炎症,從而導致慢性疼痛、脊柱融合和活動能力問題。 脊醫對脊柱或身體其他部位進行非侵入性治療,以糾正脊柱錯位 (2-8)、減輕疼痛 (9-14) 並提高活動能力。 它們在保守管理和提高生活質量方面發揮著關鍵作用 (15)。

僵直性脊椎炎患者經常有背部僵硬和疼痛,脊椎按摩師可以幫助他們緩解症狀 (16-20)。 因為患者的脊柱可以與 AS 融合,脊骨神經科和運動療法是很好的保守治療,以保持脊柱活動 (21-25)。

僵直性脊椎炎影響著全世界數百萬人。香港執業脊醫協會 藉著世界僵直性脊椎病日,以提高對這種疾病的認識,並提高人們對其對脊椎治療患者身心健康的影響的認識。
