Treatment and Management of Psoriatic Arthritis

Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory condition that affects the joints and skin. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and control symptoms, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Biologic therapies may be used for more severe cases. Physical therapy and exercise are also important to maintain joint function and mobility. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider help monitor the condition and adjust treatments as necessary. A healthy lifestyle, including proper diet and stress management, can further support overall well-being.
