Stride Orthopaedics & Footwear

Description

The onset of psoriatic arthritis generally occurs in the fourth and fifth decades of life. Males and females are affected equally. The skin disease (psoriasis) and the joint disease (arthritis) often appear separately. In fact, the skin disease precedes the arthritis in nearly 80% of patients. However, the arthritis may precede the psoriasis in up to 15% of patients. In some patients, the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis can be difficult if the arthritis precedes psoriasis by many years.

No, it depends on the severity of malalignment, symptoms, and the nature of the activity the patient is participating in. Often, improved footwear, off the shelf products, or a minor adjustment to the patient's current footwear can solve the problem. We strive to provide the most effective solution for each of our clients. Again, the analogy to eye glasses can be used. Some people are able to use only reading glasses, and do not require prescription eye wear.
