Dr Shallu Verma treats Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA), an inflammatory condition that affects both the skin and joints. Patients experience joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and psoriasis skin lesions. Dr. Verma provides comprehensive care addressing both skin and joint symptoms, using targeted therapies to reduce inflammation, manage pain, and prevent joint damage. Her approach combines medications, physiotherapy, and patient education to maintain function and improve quality of life.

What It Is

PsA is an autoimmune condition characterised by joint inflammation in patients with psoriasis, primarily affecting the fingers, toes, spine, and larger joints.

Procedure

Diagnosis includes joint examination, blood tests, imaging, and evaluation of skin lesions. Dr. Verma customises treatment using DMARDs, biologics, and lifestyle interventions.

Why It Happens

The immune system attacks both skin and joint tissues due to genetic susceptibility and abnormal immune responses.
