Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for ankylosing spondylitis mainly includes herbal medicine and acupuncture. For herbal medicine, prescriptions are formulated according to different syndromes. For example, herbs that can invigorate qi and activate blood circulation, expel wind and dampness may be used. Acupuncture can stimulate specific acupoints to regulate qi and blood circulation and relieve pain. In addition, moxibustion and tuina can also be used as adjuvant therapies. However, it is important to seek professional guidance from TCM doctors for individualized treatment.
