Chiropractic care is a musculoskeletal specialists in primary care that focuses on diagnosing and treating disorders of the ankylosing spondylosis, particularly the spine (1-3)."People with low back pain often first go to a chiropractor, chiropractors can play a role in getting people with ankylosing spondylitis into medical treatment and manage conservatively." described by Dr Eric Chun-Pu Chu, Chairman of Chiropractic Doctors Association of Hong Kong (CDAHK).

Chiropractors perform non-invasive treatment — to the spine or other parts of the body to correct spinal alignment (2-8), reduce pain (9-14), and improve mobility. They play a key role as a conservative management and improve quality of life (15).
AS patients often have back stiffness and pain, chiropractor could help their symptoms (16-20). Because the patients' spine can fuse with AS, chiropractic rehabilitation and exercise therapy are excellent conservative management to keep the spine mobile (21-25).
