Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Daniela Uebelhart 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:
- Common Cold: Dealing with a common cold can be frustrating, but focusing on plenty of rest, fluids, and over-the-counter remedies for symptoms like aches and fever will help you recover more quickly.
- Trigeminal Neuralgia: Trigeminal neuralgia can cause agonizing facial pain, but with the right medical care, including medication and sometimes surgery, seniors can find effective relief and maintain their activities.
- Arthritis: Arthritis may make everyday tasks challenging, but it's treatable. Your doctor can create a personalized plan with medication, physical therapy, or even assistive devices to help you stay active and comfortable.
- Bursitis: Bursitis, an inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs around your joints, can cause significant pain and stiffness, but with proper care such as physical therapy and medication, you can manage your symptoms and maintain your independence.
- Sciatica: If you're experiencing sciatica, the sharp pain in your leg and buttock, know that it's often treatable. Your doctor can develop a plan involving exercise, medication, or other therapies to improve your comfort and quality of life.
- Anal or Rectal Pain: Anal or rectal pain can be uncomfortable, but many effective treatments are available to relieve discomfort and improve your quality of life.
- Nighttime Urination (Nocturia): Nocturia can be a sign of an underlying medical condition or a side effect of certain medications, but it's manageable. Let your doctor help you find a solution that restores your nighttime sleep and improves your comfort.
- Benign Chronic Pain Syndrome: While it doesn't have a specific cause, benign chronic pain syndrome is a real condition that affects many older adults. The focus is on finding the right pain management strategies to improve your quality of life.

- Shingles: Shingles is a reactivation of the chickenpox virus, causing a painful, blistering rash; early treatment with antiviral medications can help prevent long-term nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia).
- Hypogonadism: As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, sometimes leading to hypogonadism, a condition characterized by low sex hormones. Treatment may involve hormone replacement to help alleviate symptoms and maintain a fulfilling life.
