Psoriatic Arthritis Diagnosis & Treatment

Treating Your Psoriatic Arthritis Symptoms

One of the treatments available at Denver Arthritis Clinic for psoriatic arthritis is infusion therapy. This type of treatment involves administering medication intravenously to reduce inflammation, allowing you to take control of your symptoms and ultimately restore your quality of life. 

Infusion therapy helps reduce inflammation in the joints and surrounding tissues and can provide long-lasting relief from symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and fatigue.  

Some of the medications we offer at Denver Arthritis Clinic include:

  • Infliximab (Remicade, Renflexis, Avsola): A chimeric monoclonal antibody that is directed against tumor necrosis factor-alpha, a substance involved in inflammation
  • Simponi Aria:  An anti-inflammatory Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitor
  • Stelara: A human monoclonal antibody directed against interleukin-12 and interleukin -23

Our team will carefully assess your individual needs and create a personalized plan that takes into account both short-term and long-term goals.

What is the cause of psoriatic arthritis?

The exact cause of psoriatic arthritis is unknown, but it is thought to be due to a combination of genetic factors as well as environmental triggers and exposures. It is believed that the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue, causing inflammation and damage to the joints. 

Psoriasis itself is caused by an overactive immune system that triggers the production of too many skin cells. It is also possible for psoriatic arthritis to occur without any signs or symptoms of psoriasis, although this is rare.
