Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the joints, tendons, spine, skin, and nails in people who have or are at risk of developing psoriasis. The immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and — if untreated — permanent joint damage. Management has transformed over the past two decades: a stepwise treat-to-target approach, combining conventional medications, advanced biologic therapies, and targeted oral drugs, now allows most patients to achieve low disease activity or remission. Treatment is tailored to which parts of the body are involved, disease severity, and individual patient factors. Alongside medication, physiotherapy, weight management, and lifestyle adjustments play an important supporting role in protecting joints and overall health.
Oral disease-modifying drugs such as methotrexate, sulfasalazine, or leflunomide that calm the immune system and slow joint damage — typically the first medication step after NSAIDs.
