Spondylitis is one of the most common causes of back and neck pain and is essentially the result of an inflammation of the vertebral joints. The problem with detecting the condition is the fact that it develops rather under the radar and only comes to prominence once the condition has fully developed - at which time the amount of pain and suffering it causes is substantial. The pain is usually concentrated around the cervical region of the neck, shoulder and lower spine with the instances and stings of pain flowing further downwards. �What is spondylitis� will defer from instance to instance because of the fact that the condition categorizes three main types.  The three versions of spondylitis are: cervical spondylitis - which affects the cervical spine, causing the pain to spread towards the back of the neck; lumbar spondylitis - which causes the pain in the lumbar region; and ankylosing spondylitis- which is primarily a disease that affects the sacroiliac joints - causing stiffness in the neck, jaw, shoulders, hips and knees.

Despite the fact that yoga has been around for a number of centuries, it is only in the last few decades that it has come to global prominence and is increasingly accepted as being a very effective method of dealing with a number of health problems. Moreover, the fact that it helps develop the mind in addition to the positive effect it has on the body has seen a number of people take up the discipline with increasing vigor and commitment.

Spondylitis treatment through yoga is performed by practicing one of the many poses that help with relieving the pain that you are likely to be experiencing in your joints as well as various parts of the body. While some people rely on modern medicine such as the chemical based drugs - there is always the possibility of side effects. However, with yoga, you are unlikely to face the problem as yoga does not call for you to ingest or be treated with any kind of substance. This is not to say, however, that there are no risks with yoga as performing any of the more complex poses without the advice or instructions of a trained yoga master could see you injure yourself rather severely. There are a number of the yoga postures such as the snake pose and the fish pose that are known to have worked wonders with the ankylosing spondylitis and cervical spondylitis.

Types Of  Spondylitis

Cervical Spondylitis:
Neck pain that affects the cervical spin is called Cervical Spondylitis. This pain can spread to the rear of the neck, both sides of the shoulder, collar bone, and shoulder joints. It restricts neck movement, and the arms become motionless due to weakness in muscles.

Lumbar Spondylitis: Pain in the lumbar region causes Lumbar Spondylitis.

Spondylitis Deformans: Also known as Ankylosing Spondylitis, this disease affects the sacroiliac joints, vertebral column, shoulders, and hip joints. The spine usually becomes very rigid. The knees, heels, hips, shoulders, neck, and jaw also become stiff.
The treatment of Ankylosing Spondylitis includes many options such as physiotherapy, medication, and exercise. The medicines used include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Tolectin, Naprosyn and Indocin; immunosuppressant drugs such as Sulfasalazine and Methotrexate; TNF blockers and disease modifying drugs.

Though the drugs are effective in curing the pain, they are not without side effects. Therefore, many people prefer other alternatives such as therapeutic massage, acupuncture, physiotherapy, and yoga.
