COMMON PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS TRIGGERS YOU SHOULD AVOID

WHY TRIGGERS MATTER

Understanding triggers is important because reactions vary and avoiding them helps prevent flare ups and protect joints over time.

STRESS AS A TRIGGER

Stress can cause immediate flare ups by increasing inflammation and making joint pain stiffness and fatigue worse.

PHYSICAL TRAUMA AND SURGERY

Injuries or surgery may trigger flare ups through the deep Koebner response where trauma can activate inflammation in joints.

INFECTIONS AND IMMUNE RESPONSE

Streptococcal infections and gut microbiome imbalance can activate autoimmune reactions and worsen symptoms.

LIFESTYLE FACTORS

Smoking drinking lack of sleep and inactivity may worsen inflammation increase fatigue and make pain harder to control.

DIET RELATED TRIGGERS

Sugary processed foods and unhealthy fats may worsen inflammation while anti inflammatory foods can help reduce symptoms.

HORMONAL CHANGES

Pregnancy menopause and hormonal shifts may improve or worsen symptoms depending on individual response.
