Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Eduardo Reyes 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:
- Achilles Tendinitis: Achilles tendinitis is an inflammation of the tendon in your heel that can cause pain and stiffness, making walking more difficult, but with proper treatment, you can regain comfort and mobility.
- Metatarsalgia: If you're dealing with persistent pain in the area where your toes meet your foot, it might be metatarsalgia. Fortunately, treatments including medication, stretches, and special shoe inserts can often make a big difference to your comfort and mobility.
- Foot And Ankle Osteophyte: Bone spurs (osteophytes) in the feet and ankles are a common age-related condition that can limit mobility and cause pain; your doctor can help find the right pain management and treatment plan for you, helping you stay active and comfortable.
- Ankle Fracture: If you've suffered an ankle fracture, know that recovery is possible with appropriate medical care. Treatment plans focus on healing the break and restoring your ability to walk and participate in your usual activities.
- Foot Sprain: A foot sprain happens when ligaments in your foot are stretched or torn, causing pain and swelling, and limiting mobility; proper rest, ice, and elevation can help manage the pain and get you back on your feet more quickly.
- Bunion: Bunion pain can make walking and standing uncomfortable, but treatments like special shoes, padding, or even surgery can significantly improve mobility and independence.
- Osteoarthritis of Foot: The painful stiffness and swelling in your foot joints caused by osteoarthritis can be significantly improved through various treatments such as physical therapy, joint injections, or even surgery, helping you maintain your ability to move around and enjoy life.
- Osteoarthritis of Ankle: Osteoarthritis of the ankle is a common condition where the cartilage cushioning your ankle joint wears down, causing pain and stiffness.
- Ankle Sprain and Achilles Tendon Sprain or Rupture: Experiencing ankle or Achilles pain? These injuries, ranging from mild sprains to serious ruptures, can significantly impact mobility, but appropriate treatment, including rest, ice, and possibly physical therapy, can help you get back on your feet and maintain your independence.
- Posterior Tibial Tendonitis: Managing posterior tibial tendonitis often involves rest, physical therapy, and supportive footwear to reduce pain and improve your mobility and balance.
- Ankle Impingement: Ankle impingement can make everyday tasks more challenging, but it's often manageable with conservative approaches like rest, ice, and targeted exercises to reduce pain and improve ankle flexibility.
- Bunionette: Similar to a bunion on the big toe, a bunionette is a bony growth on the little toe joint that can be eased with proper footwear, cushioning, and in some cases, surgery, enabling you to maintain an active lifestyle.
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.
