'''Spondyloarthropathy''' or '''spondyloarthrosis''' refers to a group of [[Joint disease|joint diseases]] that primarily affect the [[Vertebral column|vertebral column]]. These conditions are characterized by inflammation and can lead to significant pain and disability. They encompass a range of disorders, including but not limited to [[Psoriasis|psoriatic arthritis]], [[Ankylosing spondylitis]], and forms of [[Rheumatoid arthritis|rheumatoid arthritis]].

== Related terms ==
* [[spondylopathy]] is a disease of the vertebra
* Spondyloarthropathy with inflammation is called '''[[axial spondyloarthritis]]'''
 
== Signs and symptoms ==
Non-vertebral signs and symptoms is back pain which is unique because it decreases with activity.
 
==Seronegative spondyloarthropathy==
''Seronegative spondyloarthropathy'' (or ''seronegative spondyloarthritis'') is a group of diseases involving the [[axial skeleton]]
 
"Seronegative" refers to the fact that these diseases are negative for [[rheumatoid factor]]
 
== Types of Spondyloarthropathy ==
Spondyloarthropathies can be classified into several main types, each with distinct characteristics:
 
* '''Ankylosing Spondylitis''': A chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints.
* '''Psoriatic Arthritis''': Associated with the skin condition psoriasis, this type can affect the spine in addition to other joints.
* '''Enteropathic Arthritis''': Arthritis that is associated with inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
* '''Reactive Arthritis''': Arthritis that occurs as a reaction to an infection elsewhere in the body.
 
== Symptoms ==
Common symptoms of spondyloarthropathies include:
 
* Chronic back pain and stiffness, often worse in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
* Pain and swelling in other joints, depending on the specific type.
* In severe cases, a reduction in spinal flexibility and overall mobility.
 
== Diagnosis ==
Diagnosis of spondyloarthropathy involves:
 
* Clinical evaluation of symptoms.
* Imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, and CT scans to detect changes in joints and bones.
* Blood tests to identify markers of inflammation and genetic markers associated with specific types.
 
== Treatment ==
Treatment for spondyloarthropathies aims to manage symptoms and prevent or slow disease progression. Options include:
 
* '''Medications''': Including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and biologics.
* '''Physical Therapy''': To maintain joint flexibility and muscle strength.
* '''Lifestyle Modifications''': Such as regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight.
 
==Conditions==
The following conditions are typically included within the group of ''seronegative spondylarthropathies'':
