    Getting medical care is a must for psoriatic arthritis. Most cases of psoriatic arthritis are not severe, but early treatment is essential to prevent joint damage that can occur in the first few years. If psoriatic arthritis is not treated, it can cause joints to become deformed and lead to long-term discomfort and disability.
