Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory condition affecting people with psoriasis. It causes painful joint swelling and stiffness, as well as psoriasis symptoms like red, scaly skin patches. It can affect joints anywhere in your body, including fingers, toes, knees, and spine.
AndHealth treats people living with PsA in Ohio and Indiana with a whole person, comprehensive approach. You will work with a coordinated rheumatology care team that includes a board-certified rheumatologist and a clinical pharmacist, both with decades of experience.
While every experience is unique, common psoriatic arthritis symptoms may include one or more from this list.
These and any other symptoms will be evaluated as part of your appointments with the AndHealth rheumatology provider team.
Managing psoriatic arthritis includes daily habits at home or on the go.
These lifestyle habits may be part of a personalized treatment plan that your AndHealth rheumatologist team creates for you, based on your health needs.
A variety of specialty medications are available for psoriatic arthritis. They help by reducing joint and skin inflammation, relieving pain, and preventing further joint damage, greatly improving your daily activities and quality of life. They are filled by a specialty pharmacy.
These medications may be considered for your psoriatic arthritis treatment plan during your visits with your rheumatologist and clinical pharmacist providers.
