Questions and answers · Content by Dr. Alexandre Miranda
Yes, but only during the acute phase of the disease. Progression is not necessarily continuous throughout life.
- During the Acute PhaseAt this stage, the inflammatory process is still active. The curvature may progressively worsen over weeks or months, along with other symptoms.
- Upon entering the Chronic PhaseNo. When the disease stabilizes (the patient remains pain-free or without worsening for 3 to 6 months), the deformity usually remains fixed and does not progress further.
The reactivation of the disease after it has entered the stable phase is possible, but is considered rare.
