🩺 Understanding Psoriatic Arthritis Treatment Options
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) affects more than just your joints - it can impact your skin, mobility, and overall quality of life. The good news? There are many effective ways to manage it.
Common treatment options include:
💊 Medications – From NSAIDs to reduce pain and swelling, to DMARDs, biologics, and targeted synthetic DMARDs that help slow disease progression and protect joints.
🧘♀️ Lifestyle changes – Staying active with low-impact exercise, eating an anti-inflammatory diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress.
🩻 Physical & occupational therapy – Restores flexibility, strengthens muscles, and helps protect joint function in daily activities.
🌿 Integrative therapies – Techniques like massage, acupuncture, or mindfulness to support overall well-being.
👨⚕️ Regular monitoring – Partnering with your rheumatology team to adjust treatment as needed.
The right plan is personalized—what works best for one person may be different for another.
