Psoriatic Arthritis :

Psoriatic arthritis is a form of arthritis that affects some people who have psoriasis — a disease that causes red patches of skin topped with silvery scales. Most people develop psoriasis years before being diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. But for some, the joint problems begin before skin patches appear or at the same time. 

Joint pain, stiffness and swelling are the main signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. They can affect any part of the body, including your fingertips and spine, and can range from relatively mild to severe. In both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, disease flares can alternate with periods of remission.

There's no cure for psoriatic arthritis. Treatment is aimed at controlling symptoms and preventing joint damage.

Symptos :

Both psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis are chronic diseases that worsen over time. However, you might have periods when your symptoms improve or go away temporarily.

Psoriatic arthritis can affect joints on one or both sides of your body. The signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis often resemble those of rheumatoid arthritis. Both diseases cause joints to become painful, swollen and warm to the touch.

The symptoms of psoriatic arthritis include:

• Swollen fingers and toes
• Foot pain
• Lower back pain
• Fatigue
• Swelling and pain around tendons
• Stiffness and tiredness in the morning
• Less range of motion
• Nail changes
• Eye redness and pain
• Scaly skin, especially on your knees, elbows, and scalp

Causes :

Psoriatic arthritis occurs when your body's immune system attacks healthy cells and tissue. The immune response causes inflammation in your joints as well as overproduction of skin cells.

It seems likely that both genetic and environmental factors play a role in this immune system response. Many people with psoriatic arthritis have a family history of either psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis. Researchers have discovered certain genetic markers that appear to be associated with psoriatic arthritis.

Physical trauma or something in the environment — such as a viral or bacterial infection — might trigger psoriatic arthritis in people with an inherited tendency.

Risk Factor :

Several factors can increase your risk of psoriatic arthritis, including : 

• Psoriasis. Having psoriasis is the single greatest risk factor for developing psoriatic arthritis.
• Family history. Many people with psoriatic arthritis have a parent or a sibling with the disease.
• Age. Although anyone can develop psoriatic arthritis, it occurs most often in adults between the ages of 30 and 55.

Homeopathy For Psoriatic Arthritis :

Homeopathic treatment works efficiently for individuals suffering from Psoriatic Arthritis. Homeopathic remedies help to control the pain, stiffness, and swelling by focusing on the underlying root cause of the problem, providing long-term relief, and reducing the risk of re-occurrence. It's safe, natural, and free of side effects.

Homeopathic treatment works to improve your immunity and strengthen you from within. It is based on the concept of immuno-correction. 

Homeopathic constitutional treatment will reinforce the immune system which is vital in the body's defense, assisting in making antibodies, and facilitating the recognition and rejection of foreign tissues. 

Homeopathic medicines work as powerful anti-inflammatory medicines that help in reducing the symptoms, such as swelling and stiffness, gradually and heal you from within effectively. It is primarily aimed at:

• Controlling the pain, stiffness, swelling, and inflammation.
• Controlling the progression and underlying disease process which is responsible for the cause of the disease.
• Controlling the further spread and promoting the healing of psoriasis lesions.
• Controlling the deformity.

By going for homeopathic treatment, most patients start experiencing positive results 6-8 weeks onwards, though the duration of treatment varies from case to case depending on the extent of the disease.

Homeopathic medicines are not painkillers. They address the disease from the roots and promote healing from within. 

The medicines also help in slowing down the progress of the diseases and the development of complications. Medicines also improve mental and physical stress-taking abilities and alter the hereditary predisposition to the disease.
