Taltz is used to treat adults with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and adults with active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) with objective signs of inflammation. Taltz is a biologic. A biologic is a protein-based drug produced from living cells. Different from traditional systemic drugs that impact the entire immune system, biologics target specific parts of the immune system.

Spondylitis Association of AmericaFind a rheumatologist
A rheumatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis (detection) and treatment of systemic autoimmune diseases that affect the joints, muscles, and bones, causing joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. Diagnosing non-radiographic axial spondlyoarthritis (nr-axSpA) can be difficult, because its physical signs don’t always show up on any one particular test. This is why a rheumatologist may use a variety of measures to diagnose the subtypes of axSpA, such as:
- X-rays
- MRI scans
- Physical exam and medical history
- Blood tests
- Additional tests to rule out other causes of back pain
Finding the right rheumatologist is important. If left undiagnosed and untreated, axSpA can lead to spinal fusion, further reducing mobility. Rheumatologists are best equipped to diagnose and treat this disease. If you think you might have nr-axSpA or AS, and would like to find a rheumatologist who could help diagnose you, the Spondylitis Association of America can help.
