Clinicians commonly lack diagnostic confidence in recognising features of axial, and peripheral spondyloarthritis, alongside inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Differences in the management of each of these conditions present further clinical challenges.

The identification of inflammatory back pain is commonly overlooked as part of clinical Physiotherapists' assessments, leading to delays in the diagnosis of Axial Spondyloarthritis with almost a third of patients diagnosed 6 years after onset, and others up to 8 years later (Dubreuil et al. 2025).
