Spondylitis Treatment in Agartala
Spondylitis causes stiffness and pain in the spine, in the neck, lower back or both. We help ease symptoms, protect mobility and teach you the posture and exercise habits that keep the spine supple.
What Is Spondylitis?
"Spondylitis" is a broad term for inflammation or degeneration of the spinal joints and vertebrae. In everyday practice it commonly means cervical spondylosis (neck), lumbar spondylosis (lower back), or ankylosing spondylitis, an inflammatory condition that stiffens the spine.
These types differ. Wear-related spondylosis is usually linked to age and posture, while ankylosing spondylitis often begins in young adults with morning stiffness that eases with movement and needs medical follow-up. We help you identify which pattern you have and refer you for tests when needed.
Common Symptoms
- Neck or lower-back pain and stiffness
- Morning stiffness that eases with movement (inflammatory type)
- Pain that spreads into the shoulder, arm, buttock or leg
- Reduced bending, twisting or turning
- Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet
- Pain that wakes you in the second half of the night
Common Causes and Risk Factors
- Age-related wear of spinal discs and joints
- Poor posture and long hours of sitting
- Previous spinal injury
- Weak core and back muscles
- Genetic and immune factors in ankylosing spondylitis
- Heavy lifting or repetitive strain

Why Patients Choose Dr. Biswas Pain Clinic
One team, every discipline
Physiotherapists, osteopaths and Ayurvedic specialists plan from a single assessment, so your care is not pieced together across clinics.
Diagnosis before treatment
We find out what is driving your pain before recommending therapy, instead of handing every patient the same routine.
Non-surgical first
Conservative care is tried first. If you need an investigation or a specialist opinion, we tell you so and help you take the next step.
Progress you can see
Pain, movement and daily-activity goals are reviewed at each visit, so you and your therapist know whether the plan is working.
Spondylitis: Frequently Asked Questions
Is spondylitis the same as spondylosis?
The terms are often used loosely. Spondylosis usually means wear-related changes of the spine, while spondylitis refers to inflammation, as in ankylosing spondylitis. A doctor can tell which applies to you.
Can spondylitis be cured?
Wear-related spondylosis cannot be reversed, but symptoms can usually be well controlled with exercise and therapy. Ankylosing spondylitis is a long-term condition that needs medical management alongside regular exercise.
Should I avoid exercise if my spine hurts?
Not usually. Appropriate movement and strengthening are central to managing spondylitis. Your therapist will choose safe exercises and show you what to avoid.
Do I need an MRI or X-ray?
Not always. We examine you first and advise imaging or blood tests when the findings suggest they are needed.
Can sitting posture make it worse?
Yes. Long hours in a slumped position load the neck and lower back. We give practical desk and chair advice as part of the plan.
