Spondyloarthritis (or spondylitis) refers to a group of inflammatory conditions affecting the vertebrae and surrounding structures in the spine. This inflammation can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the affected area, significantly impacting daily life. The causes of spondyloarthritis vary and can include genetic factors, autoimmune responses, infections, or degenerative changes in the spine.

The main types of spondyloarthritis include:

  1. Ankylosing spondylitis: This is a chronic inflammatory arthritis that primarily affects the spine, causing inflammation of the vertebrae and leading to stiffness and fusion of the spine over time. It can also affect other joints and organs.

  2. Spondyloarthropathy: This is a broader term encompassing several related conditions that cause inflammation in the spine and joints. It includes conditions like psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis (formerly known as Reiter’s syndrome), and enteropathic arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease.

  3. Degenerative spondylolisthesis: This occurs when one vertebra slips forward over the vertebra below it due to degenerative changes in the spine, such as disc degeneration or arthritis.

  4. Infectious spondylitis: This is caused by an infection in the spine, such as bacterial or fungal infections, leading to inflammation and potentially serious complications if not treated promptly.

  5. Other forms of spondylitis: This category includes less common types of inflammatory spinal conditions, such as undifferentiated spondyloarthritis or juvenile spondyloarthritis.
