Bekhterev's disease: Description of a clinical case and review of literature

Abstract

A therapist somewhat more rarely encounters back pain in his practice than does a neurologist. However, the concept “osteochondrosis” that has existed for almost a century is commonly the only interpretation of this condition. At the same time, its differential range is wide. This paper will deal with one of the disease that may be masked by osteochondrosis.
