How can this event help me?

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a condition that affects both the skin and joints, causing pain, stiffness, and potential joint damage. Finding an effective treatment plan can be challenging, but there are options that can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Join Rheumatologist Dr. Kate Celkys as she provides an overview of current treatment approaches and shares the latest developments in PsA care.

In this session, Dr. Celkys will cover:

  • Current Treatment Options: Learn about the treatment options available, including medications like NSAIDs, DMARDs, and biologics, and how these can be used to manage symptoms and slow disease progression.
  • Recent Advances in Treatment: Find out about new and emerging treatment options for PsA, including targeted therapies that offer promising results for managing moderate to severe cases.
  • Effective Symptom Management: Learn how a combination of medical treatments, exercise, and diet can help manage inflammation and pain while improving joint function and overall well-being.
  • Live Q&A: Dr. Celkys will answer any questions you may have, helping you better understand the treatment options and what might work best for your individual needs.
