Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is a complex autoimmune condition that links the inflammation of joints with the chronic skin condition psoriasis.
Patients often experience joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and skin lesions—creating a dual challenge for long-term care.
At Kalarickal Ayurveda Hospital, we offer a specialized, holistic treatment approach that addresses both the systemic inflammation and root imbalances causing the disease.
Under the guidance of our Chief Physician, a reputed authority in spine and joint disorders, our Spine and Arthritis Clinic delivers Ayurveda-based care that is deeply personalized, non-steroidal, and focused on long-term relief.
Diagnosis at Our Clinic
A precise and thorough diagnosis is essential for successful management of PsA.
History Taking & Symptom Analysis
Evaluating joint pain, swelling, skin lesions, nail changes, family history, and morning stiffness.
Haematological Investigations
Tests including CRP, ESR, RA Factor, and immune markers to assess inflammation.
Radiological Imaging

Skin Assessment
