There is no cure for psoriatic arthritis, so treatment is focused on reducing pain and maintaining joint functionality. Your doctor will most likely begin with conservative methods of treatment, including medications to reduce symptoms. In more severe cases, surgery or injections may be required to relieve pain and help with joint mobility.
