Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Chad Campbell provides expert, compassionate care for a range of conditions common in older adults, with a focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function. Common areas of focus include:
- Radiculopathy: Radiculopathy is a condition where a nerve root in your spine is compressed or irritated, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in your arm or leg, and treatment can help you manage pain and maintain your independence.
- Fever: A fever, or elevated body temperature, is often a sign that your body is fighting off an infection, and managing it with rest and fluids can help you feel better faster.
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): If you're struggling with persistent indigestion, acid reflux, or a feeling of food sticking in your chest, it might be GERD, a treatable condition that can be managed with the support of your healthcare provider, leading to better digestive health and independence.
- Cough: A cough is a common reflex that helps clear your airways, but persistent coughing can disrupt sleep and daily life, so it's important to find the cause and get appropriate treatment.
- Gout: Managing gout involves medication to lower uric acid levels and dietary changes to reduce painful flare-ups, helping you stay independent and enjoy your daily activities.
- Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is characterized by joint pain and stiffness, but don't let it control your life; a combination of medication, physical therapy, and self-care strategies can help you stay active and live comfortably.
- Hypokalemia: Experiencing muscle cramps, weakness, or heart palpitations? Low potassium (hypokalemia) might be the cause. Fortunately, this is often manageable with a personalized treatment plan from your doctor, improving your comfort and ability to participate in activities you enjoy.
- Esophagitis: Esophagitis is an inflammation of the esophagus, the tube connecting your mouth and stomach, often causing discomfort and difficulty swallowing, but treatable with medication and lifestyle changes to improve your daily life.
- Bronchitis: Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, the airways that carry air to your lungs, often causing a cough and making breathing uncomfortable, but with proper treatment, you can breathe easier and improve your daily activities.
- Pharyngitis: While a sore throat (pharyngitis) can be bothersome, especially for older adults, simple treatments like gargling with salt water and drinking warm liquids can often provide significant relief.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): UTIs are infections in your urinary system, often causing pain and urgency when you urinate. Fortunately, UTIs are usually treatable with antibiotics, helping you to feel more comfortable and prevent serious complications.
- Pneumonia: Pneumonia is an infection in your lungs that can make it hard to breathe, but antibiotics and rest can help you recover and enjoy your daily activities.
This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional based on your specific health history.

- Fecal Occult Blood Test for Colorectal Cancer: As part of your regular checkups, a fecal occult blood test helps your doctor assess your risk of colorectal cancer and develop a personalized prevention plan.
