Psoriatic Arthritis Treatment

Psoriatic Arthritis Treatment

Currently there is no cure for Psoriatic arthritis. Every patient is different, and your psoriatic arthritis treatment will be worked out to fit your needs. Your doctor may refer you to a dermatologist - a doctor who specializes in skin diseases - for Psoriatic arthritis treatment. Also, a rheumatologist may be asked for advice on specialized treatment.

Psoriatic arthritis treatment plans are designed to reduce pain, reduce inflammation in the joints,and prevent further damage. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to control the pain and swelling and assist in Psoriatic arthritis treatment. It is possible to inject steroids directly into affected joints. Other drugs, like methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, may also be used. A more aggressive Psoriatic arthritis treatment is corticosteroid injections into the joints. In cases of very severe joint damage, surgery may be necessary.

Soaking in warm water or using heat or cold applications is another Psoriatic arthritis treatment that may provide some arthritis pain relief. Also, be sure you get enough rest and check out some of the diet suggestions listed on this site. Don't neglect an exercise program either, one of the best forms of Psoriatic arthritis treatment.
