16.02.2022 Friday Facts! How can a physiotherapist help with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)? An essential health partner for your ankylosing spondylitis is a physiotherapist (physio). ... Your physio will use various therapies, including mobilisation techniques, stretches and exercises, to keep your spine and joints as flexible, strong and pain-free as possible. They will also suggest the best posture for your back and show you exercises that you should do at home to keep your spine mobile. They may also offer an intensive physiotherapy course, or encourage you to attend classes or group sessions for people with similar back conditions. When should I see a physiotherapist? You should be referred to a physio or a physiotherapy clinic soon after your diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis. You will probably need to return to your physio on a regular basis, particularly in the early stages of the disease, so that they can reassess the mobility of your spine, adjust your exercises and help you stay motivated. If you take part in physiotherapy classes, these may happen every 12 weeks depending upon what is available in your area.

15.01.2022 Friday Facts! How can a rheumatologist help with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)?... Rheumatologists are doctors who specialise in diseases of the joints, including ankylosing spondylitis. All people with suspected or diagnosed ankylosing spondylitis should visit a rheumatologist, and in some cases the rheumatologist will organise your ongoing care. The rheumatologist will refer you to a physiotherapist and will probably start you on medicine to slow down the disease and reduce pain. Because every person’s ankylosing spondylitis is different, your rheumatologist will probably select different treatments over time to find the best one for you. If there are specific problems in other parts of your body, your rheumatologist may refer you to other doctors such as an ophthalmologist (eye specialist), gastroenterologist (gut specialist), dermatologist (skin specialist) or an orthopaedic surgeon (a specialist in bone and joint surgery). How do I find a rheumatologist? Your GP will refer or suggest a rheumatologist they will then stay in touch to coordinate your care. Your GP may recommend a rheumatologist You can also contact the Australian Rheumatology Association on (02) 9252 2356 or visit www.rheumatology.org.au to find a rheumatologist (but you will still need a referral from your GP). When should I see my rheumatologist? At first you will probably see the rheumatologist every 46 weeks After that you may need to visit about every three months, depending upon your treatment Seeing a rheumatologist See www.empowered.org.au to learn more about rheumatologists, including what to expect at your first appointment and how to work with your specialist.
