What is <\/span>Enteropathic<\/span> Arthritis (<\/span>EnA<\/span>)?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nEnteropathic Arthritis, or EnA, is an inflammatory arthritis that occurs in connection with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. EnA often affects the joints in the lower limbs, but it can also impact the spine. Because it is associated with inflammation of the intestines, flare-ups in bowel symptoms often correlate with flares in joint symptoms. Patients with EnA may experience:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
\r\n\t
Pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints, particularly in the legs<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
Lower back or pelvic pain, though this is less common than in axSpA<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
Digestive symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and bloating from IBD<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe inflammation in EnA is unique in that it stems from the connection between the digestive and musculoskeletal systems. For some, managing the underlying IBD can also help manage the arthritis itself.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/sparthritis.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/EnAVSaxSpA-IBD.png\" title_text=\"EnAVSaxSpA-IBD\" _builder_version=\"4.27.3\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_id=\"understandingaxspa\" _builder_version=\"4.27.3\" _module_preset=\"c4f319cd-79dd-4f9c-95eb-916150de7d18\" text_font=\"--et_global_body_font|300|||||||\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]
What is Axial <\/span>Spondyloarthritis<\/span> (<\/span>axSpA<\/span>)?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nAxial Spondyloarthritis, or axSpA, is a type of arthritis primarily affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints (where the spine meets the pelvis). AxSpA causes inflammation in these areas, leading to chronic back pain, stiffness, and sometimes fusion of the vertebrae over time. Unlike EnA, axSpA is not necessarily linked to IBD, though they can co-occur.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
AxSpA encompasses two subtypes:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\r\n
\r\n\t
Non-radiographic axSpA:<\/strong> Inflammation in the spine and joints is present but does not show up on X-rays.\u00a0 However, it is usually present on MRI imaging.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS):<\/strong> Inflammation is visible on X-rays, often showing structural changes or fusion in the spine.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
People with axSpA may experience:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\r\n
\r\n\t
Chronic back pain that worsens with rest and improves with movement<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
Stiffness, particularly in the morning or after periods of inactivity<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
Fatigue, eye inflammation, and sometimes psoriasis or bowel symptoms (although these are not the primary features of axSpA)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nBecause axSpA targets the axial skeleton (spine and pelvis), pain and stiffness are concentrated there, while EnA\u2019s pain is often more widespread or peripheral.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.27.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.27.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text module_id=\"keydifferences\" _builder_version=\"4.27.3\" _module_preset=\"c4f319cd-79dd-4f9c-95eb-916150de7d18\" text_font=\"--et_global_body_font|300|||||||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]

Treatment Approaches<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n
Both <\/span>EnA<\/span> and <\/span>axSpA<\/span> <\/span>benefit<\/span> from treatments that reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and address specific symptoms. Medications for <\/span>EnA<\/span> often target bowel inflammation, which indirectly reduces joint pain. In contrast, <\/span>axSpA<\/span> treatment may include biologic medications specifically designed to prevent spinal inflammation and fusion. <\/span>There is a lot of overlap between these conditions, and often people can meet criteria for both, so this sometimes complicates treatment choice<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/span>Physical therapy, exercise, and self-management strategies are essential for both conditions<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id=\"message\" _builder_version=\"4.27.3\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.27.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.27.3\" _module_preset=\"c4f319cd-79dd-4f9c-95eb-916150de7d18\" text_font=\"--et_global_body_font|300|||||||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]
