When you’re living with a condition like ankylosing spondylitis (AS), even simple movements can start to feel like a challenge. You might notice your body doesn’t move like it used to or that your energy just doesn’t last as long. Understanding how AS affects your body is the first step toward taking back control. At Healix, we’re here to help you manage your condition with care, comfort, and proven ankylosing spondylitis infusion therapies that support your health and quality of life.

What Is Ankylosing Spondylitis?

Ankylosing spondylitis is a long-term condition in which your body builds up extra bone where your spine connects to your pelvis and sometimes in other joints, too. This extra bone causes those parts of your spine to become stiff over time, making it harder to bend and move like you used to.

With AS, you often tire more easily or your back doesn’t feel as flexible as it once was. Everyday activities like getting out of bed, standing for long periods, or sitting through a movie can become more difficult. Some people feel frustrated when their body doesn’t respond the way it used to, especially if they enjoy staying active, although many learn how to adapt and keep doing the things they enjoy.

Ankylosing Spondylitis Symptoms

AS shows up in ways that affect how you move, rest, and feel day to day. Some signs are easier to notice than others, and they can come and go or slowly get worse over time. Learning to recognize common symptoms can help you speak up and get support when you need it:

  • Dull and deep lower back pain that gets worse when you rest and feels better when you move around
  • Morning stiffness in your back or joints that makes it hard to move when you first wake up
  • Hip and buttock pain that makes walking or sitting uncomfortable
  • Neck pain or stiffness that makes it harder to turn your head
  • Fatigue that doesn’t go away easily with rest
  • Swelling, soreness, and limited mobility in your ankles, knees, or shoulders

These symptoms can impact your daily routine, mood, and how much energy you have. However, understanding patterns in your symptoms can help you take better care of your body and can help your doctor determine appropriate ankylosing spondylitis treatments.

What Infusions Are Used for Ankylosing Spondylitis?

Your doctor might suggest ankylosing spondylitis infusion treatments, which work quickly and effectively by delivering medicine directly into your bloodstream through a small tube in your vein. There are several infusion therapies that can decrease inflammation to help you feel better:

  • Remicade®, Inflectra®, and Renflexis® (infliximab): Lower swelling and pain in your spine and joints by blocking TNF-α proteins
  • Simponi Aria® (golimumab): Also targets TNF-α to improve movement and decrease stiffness
  • Cosentyx® (secukinumab): Blocks the inflammation-causing protein IL-17A to reduce joint pain and swelling

Each of these ankylosing spondylitis infusion therapies works by calming your immune system to prevent it from attacking your own body, which helps reduce the pain and stiffness that come with AS. Your doctor will choose the best infusion therapy for you based on your specific needs and how your body responds to treatment.
