TREATING PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS
Psoriatic arthritis is a type of arthritis that affects several people with psoriasis. Psoriasis is a disease that causes red patches of skin topped with silvery scales. In most cases, after several years of being diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis people develop psoriasis. However, for some, joint problems start before skin patches appear or at the same time.
There are various medication-based treatments available for psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis. However, at Medano Medical Spa, we would recommend you opt for red light therapy.
COMMON SYMPTOMS
Both psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis are chronic diseases and these worsen over time. However, people might have periods when their symptoms will improve or go away temporarily. Psoriatic arthritis can affect joints and the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis often resemble those of rheumatoid arthritis. In these diseases, joints become painful, swollen, and warm to the touch.
PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS AND RED LIGHT THERAPY
Psoriatic arthritis is also likely to cause swollen fingers and toes. This can cause painful, sausage-like swelling in your fingers and toes. It can also cause pain where tendons and ligaments attach to your bones. There might be lower back pain and nail changes might also occur. Nails can form tiny pits, these can crumble or separate from the nail beds. Some people also experience eye inflammation.
Red light therapy has been shown to be really effective for eczema treatment in various laboratory studies, especially when used along with other treatments. Red light therapy significantly reduces the severity of skin lesions, and inflammation restores the skin barrier, etc. Psoriasis and its itchy symptoms often turn out to be a lifelong challenge. While it seems to be a challenge to find a treatment that works for you and your body, red light therapy shows promising results in healing psoriasis. This reduces the inflammation and itchiness of psoriasis. We use advanced devices that use red light to heal the condition.
