5Spondylitis Psoriatic Arthritis
Spondylitis psoriatic arthritis, also known as axia arthritis, primarily occurs in the joints between the spinal vertebras. Apart from general symptoms of psoriatic arthritis, people with this type may also experience stiffness, swelling, and pain in their back and neck. This makes it harder to move around and perform daily tasks. Symptoms tend to come and go. When the condition progresses, the location of swelling and pain would change. While spondylitis psoriatic arthritis mainly affects the spin, other joints can also be impacted, including the feet, hands, legs, arms, and hips. If left untreated, inflammation may lead to long-term damage to the affected joints and spin. The main goal of treatment is to control inflammation and prevent complications. There are many options available, such as OTC or prescribed medications, physical therapy, and surgery. [5]
