Telemedicine for Ankylosing Spondylitis: How Do You Get Your Medication?

Going to the doctor’s office may involve managing wait times, commutes, and parking logistics. With full-time work or obligations, it can be challenging to set aside so much time. This may be especially true if you need to schedule frequent appointments to manage a chronic illness, including ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

This is where telehealth — and more specifically, telemedicine — may play a convenient role. Telemedicine refers to the use of technology (often video conferencing) to visit with your healthcare provider. The use of telemedicine may help make your AS management more efficient and convenient.
