Many people with spondylitis need to be seen by a rheumatologist over an extended period of time rather than being care for by their primary care doctor (general practitioner). Rheumatic diseases often change or evolve over time; therefore, it is recommended that spondylitis patients visit their rheumatologist at least once a year for a regular check-up.
