Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Jeffrey Glickman 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:
- Acidosis: Acidosis is a condition where there's too much acid in your body, and it can be managed with medication and lifestyle changes to improve your comfort and energy levels.
- End-Stage Renal Disease: End-Stage Renal Disease signifies severely impaired kidney function, impacting fluid and waste removal; but regular treatment with dialysis or a transplant helps to control symptoms and supports overall well-being, improving daily life for many.
- Limb Swelling: Swelling in your arms or legs can be a sign of several health issues, and addressing it promptly can help you maintain your comfort and mobility.
- Tobacco Use Disorder: If you or a loved one struggles with tobacco use, know that effective treatments and support groups are available to help overcome nicotine addiction, leading to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
- Nephritis and Nephropathy: Nephritis and nephropathy describe problems with your kidneys' ability to filter waste, but with careful treatment and management, you can prevent serious issues and maintain a good quality of life.
- Hypertensive Heart and Chronic Kidney Disease: Hypertensive heart disease and chronic kidney disease are interconnected conditions where high blood pressure damages the heart and kidneys, but managing both with medication and lifestyle changes can help you stay healthier and more active.
- Limb Swelling Caused by Fluid Overload: Swollen limbs can happen when your body holds onto too much fluid, making it harder to move around, but your doctor can help manage this with medication or lifestyle changes to improve your comfort and independence.
- Nail Infection: A nail infection, often caused by bacteria or fungus, can be treated with topical or oral medications to relieve pain and prevent further complications, helping you maintain your daily activities.
- Limb Pain: Don't let limb pain hold you back – many effective treatment options, such as pain medication, exercises, or assistive devices, can help you manage the discomfort and enhance your quality of life.
- Systemic Vasculitis: If you have systemic vasculitis, it means your blood vessels are inflamed, potentially affecting various organs; working closely with your doctor to manage this condition can help prevent serious complications and maintain your independence.
- Gastroptosis: While a lower-than-normal stomach position (gastroptosis) can sometimes create digestive discomfort, appropriate management, often involving lifestyle choices, can help seniors effectively manage their symptoms and enjoy a better quality of life.
- Intestinal Diverticulitis: Diverticulitis, an inflammation of small pouches in your digestive tract, can be treated effectively with medication and dietary adjustments to help you stay comfortable and maintain your daily activities.
