Dr. Aly Cohen was quoted in a Spine Universe article called Ankylosing Spondylitis Blood Test & Diagnosis by Abby McCoy RN.
Aly Cohen, MD, an integrative rheumatologist in Princeton, NJ, emphasizes that the gut microbiome plays an extremely important role in both precipitating the development of AS, and in its treatment, and tests to determine the health of your gut can give your doctor an even more complete picture of what is going on inside your body.
Dr. Cohen calls rheumatologists the “detectives of the medical world” because the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis and other inflammatory conditions relies so heavily on piecing together different lab tests alongside clinical exams and imaging.
