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).
