AS is managed by a combination of medication and appropriate exercise.

Being diagnosed with AS can have a huge psychological impact so do take the time to read the information put together on this issue by Diane Aronson at the RNHRD.

If you have any further questions which are not answered on these pages please call our Helpline or email Sally Dickinson who will try and answer your query. If you are not based in the UK you may wish to check if there is an AS organisation in your country.
