Understanding Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an autoimmune condition that causes joint pain, stiffness, and swelling, often occurring in people who have psoriasis. It can affect any joint, but commonly involves the fingers, toes, and lower back, and sometimes comes with nail changes or a skin rash.
Common symptoms:
Joint pain and swelling, especially in the fingers or toes
Morning stiffness
Nail changes, like pitting or separation
Fatigue
Chronic pain with PsA is also a nervous system story. Living with ongoing inflammatory pain can lead to a more sensitized nervous system over time, which is part of why a whole-person approach to pain, alongside your rheumatologic and dermatologic care, can be valuable.
When Psoriatic Arthritis Becomes More Than a Joint Problem
When PsA-related pain continues for months or years, it can start affecting much more than your joints.
Pain can change how you use your hands, how you walk, how you sleep, and even how confident you feel about your day-to-day independence.
That’s why Override doesn’t treat PsA-related pain as only a symptom to manage in isolation.
We look at the whole pain experience and build a personalized plan around your symptoms, history, goals, and the factors that may be contributing to your pain.
A Whole-Person Approach to Psoriatic Arthritis Pain Support
You’re likely already working with a rheumatologist, and possibly a dermatologist, to manage the disease itself. Override’s role is different: helping with the day-to-day pain and mobility side, alongside that care.
Depending on your needs, your personalized care plan may include:
Pain Medicine
Pain specialists trained in pain neuroscience and non-opioid chronic pain management who coordinate closely with your rheumatology and dermatology care team.
Physical Therapy
Movement specialists trained in chronic pain who help with mobility work for affected joints, especially hands, feet, and lower back.
Pain Psychology
Therapists who specialize in chronic pain and address the biopsychosocial factors, including how stress affects the immune system that can be associated with a chronic inflammatory condition.
Coaching & Peer Support
Certified pain coaches help you build sustainable daily habits and stay supported between visits.
Your care is personalized to you. You may not need every service. The difference is that your providers can work together as one team, with one shared understanding of your pain and your goals, and your specialists stay central to your disease management.
Pain and mobility support alongside specialist care
What we do: help manage the pain, stiffness, and mobility challenges that come with psoriatic arthritis.
What we don’t do: diagnose, treat, or manage the underlying autoimmune disease. Psoriatic arthritis is best managed by a rheumatologist, often alongside a dermatologist, and we work alongside that care.
Real Results
“Override has been a game-changer in my journey with chronic pain. It’s not just about relief; it’s about unlocking my life, revitalizing relationships, and retraining my physical function. I’m getting outside more often, have a little more pep in my step, and for the first time in a LONG, LONG time, I feel hopeful.”

Override may be a good fit if:
You’ve been diagnosed with PsA and are looking for additional pain and mobility support
Your pain or stiffness is affecting your movement, sleep, work, mood, or the things you want to do
You feel like you’ve been managing the disease itself without enough support for the day-to-day pain

Override doesn’t diagnose or manage the underlying autoimmune disease, and our focus is on joint pain and mobility, not skin symptoms. Please continue working with your rheumatologist and dermatologist for that part of your care.
