Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints. It causes inflammation that can lead to stiffness, reduced mobility, and, in severe cases, a hunched posture.

At Dr Batra’s®, our holistic homeopathy approach helps reduce pain, control inflammation, and improve flexibility. Personalised medicines work from within to strengthen immunity and slow disease progression, offering long-term relief without side effects.

Insight from a Global Study

A study in the International Journal of Clinical Rheumatology shows that holistic care works best for ankylosing spondylitis. Homeopathy complements this by naturally easing pain, reducing inflammation, and improving spinal mobility, offering long-term relief without side effects.

Best Homeopathic Medicines for Ankylosing Spondylitis

Homeopathic remedies are carefully selected based on the individual's unique symptoms and constitution. Here are some of the most effective medicines often prescribed:

Rhus Tox: For pain that improves with motion; ideal for those who feel worse at rest but better with movement
Bryonia Alba: Pain worsens with movement but eases with rest; helpful for managing inflammation and joint tenderness
Kali Carbonicum: Severe lower back pain radiating to legs; often accompanied by weakness or stiffness
Calcarea Fluorica: For early signs of spinal fusion and deformities; helps maintain tissue elasticity

Symptoms of Ankylosing Spondylitis

Homeopathy works by targeting the root cause of inflammation and strengthening the body’s natural healing response. It helps balance immunity, reduce joint stiffness, and enhance mobility. Remedies are personalised after assessing your symptoms, lifestyle, and triggers for effective long-term relief.

Yes, homeopathy is completely safe for long-term use as it is gentle, non-addictive, and free from side effects. It can also be safely combined with conventional treatments to support holistic healing and maintain joint health over time.

While homeopathy cannot reverse structural damage, early and regular treatment may help slow disease progression and reduce the risk of spinal fusion. It works best when started at the initial stage of stiffness and inflammation, preventing severe complications.
