"My chronic back pain is Axy What?" Axial Spondyloarthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis

This public lecture was delivered by Professor Lettie Bishop, Professor of Exercise Immunology at Loughborough University, Dr Matthew Roberts, Research Associate in Exercise, Inflammation and Chronic Disease at Loughborough University, and Dr Moorthy Arumugam, Consultant Rheumatologist at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS trust on Wednesday 29 March at 5:30pm.
In this talk, our speakers explained how Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and Ankylising Spondylitis (AS) develop, the most common symptoms and current available treatments. They introduced their recent National Axial Spondyloarthritis Society (NASS) funded study investigating whether regular walking could have anti-inflammatory effects for people living with these conditions.
