Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis [1] is an inflammatory condition that results in persistent inflammation where tendons and ligaments attach to bone. PsA can start at any age, however, it usually manifests between the ages of 30 and 50. About 30% of persons with psoriasis have PsA.
PsA’s most prevalent signs and symptoms include:
- Stiffness
- Swelling in the joints
- Pain
PsA management might be challenging, especially due to the lack of treatment. A rheumatologist might advise therapies that minimize pain, delay or stop PsA’s progression, and preserve as much range of motion as feasible.
