Does Owning a Pet Help You Handle Psoriatic Arthritis?

Those who live with psoriatic arthritis live a difficult life. Aside from the swollen body fingers and scaly skin patches, they also suffer from pain in the muscles and tendons. Owning a pet can provide many significant benefits to living with such a condition.

The flares of psoriatic arthritis are caused by stress. Being in the company of an animal that gives unconditional love can prevent this from happening. Pets also require their owners to be active - another way to loosen the joints and tendons of patients.

Lastly, living with psoriatic arthritis ruins one’s self-esteem. But with a pet around, a patient can get emotional support to never lose hope and fight against the disease.
