    Juvenile Spondyloarthritis is a group of childhood inflammatory diseases that cause arthritis before age 16, primarily affecting joints in the lower body, the spine, and sites where tendons attach to bones. While managing this condition can be challenging, with proper treatment and lifestyle adjustments, children can lead active, fulfilling lives.
