Psoriatic arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis
sadly cannot be cured, nor can it be prevented. It can, however be treated. Let's start with what it is:
Psoriatic arthritis is a type of inflammatory arthritis.
Symptoms
include:
joint pain
stiffness
swelling
The swelling can occur in a flare up or subside all together. Many people with the condition are affected by morning
stiffness. Even mild skin psoriasis can have a significant degree of
arthritis.
For arthritis, enzymes work by targeting various tissues and
organs in the body and help to restore a healthy balance between
anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines (kinetic messenger cells).
When your body is trying very hard to get better, cells must work smart, do the
right things, and do them in the right sequence. They must also have sufficient
stamina to complete the job. A type of systemic oral enzymes called
"proteolytic" have a communicating line with the master cytokine,
also known as TGF beta (transforming growth factor). It is for this reason that
systemic oral enzymes, in the European medical community, are known as
"biological response modifiers"; they aid healing, they have positive
effects on inflammation and they help in pain control, but their overriding and
most notable effect is that they enhance the healing response. They do so by
their interactions with a number of cell systems.
Treatment may include medication to reduce inflammation, steroid injections, or joint replacement surgery.
