Does your spine hurt when you wake up? Do you get relief during the day but the pain returns in the evening? These are common complaints in arthritis of the spine. It is an inflammatory disease of the joints in the spine. The pain is compounded by stiffness in the back and, in some patients, impaired sensitivity in the limbs.
Find out what treatment options exist for arthritis of the spine. How to suppress unpleasant symptoms such as pain, swelling and inflammation in this disease? Read more here.
The main symptoms of arthritis of the spine are:
Patients with arthritis of the spine may not always have the same symptoms. The type and intensity of the problems depend on the type of arthritis and your overall health.
Only a doctor can make a correct diagnosis. Do not use this or any other article on the internet to make a diagnosis. Don’t put off seeing a doctor and address your condition early.
Arthritis of the spine is inflammatory joint disease in the spine or at the junction of the spine and pelvis. It may be related to spinal wear and tear, autoimmune diseases or infectious diseases. Arthritis of the back can occur in any part of the spine, but arthritis of the cervical and lumbar spine is most common. In some cases, the exact cause of arthritis remains unclear. [2]
Arthritis of the spine can take many different forms. Doctors know more than 100 different types of arthritis. [3] The most common types include arthritis that develops with arthrosis of the spine, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis (Bechterew’s disease), psoriatic arthritis or reactive arthritis. [4]
The diagnosis of arthritis of the spine is made in three basic steps.
Some patients also need laboratory blood tests to rule out or confirm other diseases with similar symptoms. [6]
If arthritis of the spine is not treated early and correctly, various complications can develop.
Stiffening of the spine
Chronic pain
Restricted mobility
Inflammation of other joints
Do not delay treatment for arthritis of the spine, and see a specialist if you have any health problems or doubts about your health. This will prevent unnecessary health complications.
Most patients are treated conservatively to relieve spinal pain and improve mobility. Surgical treatment (spinal surgery) always poses a certain risk, so doctors usually combine different conservative therapy procedures.
These are:
The exact form of treatment depends on the type and severity of arthritis, the intensity of the pain and the age of the patient. Doctors also take into account your overall health and other comorbidities. The joint damage in arthritis is irreversible, so treatment usually focuses on relieving pain and preventing further damage to the spine. [ 8],[9]
Treatment for arthritis of the spine can only be determined by your doctor after considering your overall health. Therefore, do not use this article as a guide to treatment, which can only be determined by a doctor.
Treatment of arthritis of the spine can be supplemented with other treatments such as hot and cold compresses or various relaxation techniques.
Arthritis of the spine cannot be completely cured, as arthritic changes in the spine are irreversible. Prevention plays an even more important role. Some of the risk factors for developing arthritis cannot be influenced (age, family stress), but patients can do a lot for their spinal health through a good lifestyle.
Treatment for arthritis of the spine is always determined by your doctor based on a general examination, an assessment of your condition and an accurate diagnosis.
After a general examination, your doctor will recommend treatment for the cause of arthritis of the spine. They will also advise you on possible lifestyle adjustments and the next course of action.
Symptomatic treatment focuses on the manifestations or signs (symptoms) of the disease. Such treatment can significantly improve your quality of life and support comprehensive treatment during the course of the disease.

The solution may be symptomatic treatment using pulsed magnetotherapy, which targets symptoms and signs such as pain, swelling and inflammation. In addition, such treatment can support comprehensive treatment and significantly improve quality of life.
The basic principle of Biomag 3D pulsed magnetotherapy is the generation of electromagnetic pulses. These pulses penetrate through the clothing and through the entire depth of the tissue to the point of targeted application. The pulses have specially developed biotropic parameters (e.g. frequency, shape, intensity) to best affect various health problems.
The application is very simple. Select the desired therapeutic effect on the device and attach the connected applicator to the desired application site. Magnetotherapy is usually applied 2 times a day for 20 minutes.
We will be happy to help you try this method free of charge and advise you on which device to purchase.
