Ankylosis is a medical condition that occurs when bones fuse in a joint. The fusion can be complete or partial, and it leads to severe rigidity of movement. Symptoms of the condition include pain in the joint and a limited range of motion. Ankylosis can be caused by various diseases, such as arthritis and certain forms of gangrene, and it also can be caused by traumatic injury and inflammation. The condition can happen anywhere in the body where bones meet at a joint.

Acupuncture for Ankylosing Spondylitis
Acupuncture needles into localised painful areas at specific acupuncture points and then burning mugwort on the needles. This is known as warm needle moxibustion method. The research confirmed that the application of acupuncture and moxibustion had better results than just acupuncture alone. It is important to note that other acupuncture points on the arms and legs are also used. These are known as distal points, which are acupuncture points that are away from the problem. For example, acupuncture points in the wrist joints are known to relieve stiff joints in the whole body and not just the wrist.
