Consulting your spine specialist cannot be emphasized enough in such cases of back pain. If not treated timely, it may cause vast destruction of your back bones leading to gross instability and risk to the nerves.
You may be referred by your rheumatologist to see us for possible surgery. Surgery will usually involve inserting titanium screws and rods to correct the deformity (Figure 1), as well as opening the space for the nerves for the stabilization of your spine.
Our doctor specialises in the conservative as well as surgical treatment of inflammatory spine diseases. Contact us for a comprehensive consultation Singapore Pinnacle Orthopaedic Group.
