Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Jorge Nasr 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:
- Nail Infection: Untreated nail infections can lead to more serious problems, so don't hesitate to seek professional help; prompt treatment by a podiatrist will help manage the infection and prevent further complications, helping you stay independent.
- Ankle Sprain and Achilles Tendon Sprain or Rupture: A sprained or ruptured ankle or Achilles tendon is a painful injury that can limit your ability to walk and participate in activities, but with the right treatment plan, such as bracing or surgery in severe cases, you can recover and improve your comfort level and ease of movement.
- Muscle Spasm: Muscle spasms in the legs and feet can often be addressed with simple home remedies, like warm baths and gentle massage, improving your quality of life and allowing you to remain independent in your daily activities.
- Osteoarthritis of Foot: Osteoarthritis in the foot is a type of arthritis causing joint pain and stiffness, often making it difficult to walk comfortably, but treatments like pain relief and exercise can significantly improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
- Metatarsalgia: Metatarsalgia is pain in the ball of your foot, often making it uncomfortable to walk or stand for long periods, but treatment like supportive shoes and cushioning can ease the discomfort and help you stay mobile.
- Ingrown Toenail: Ingrown toenails are a common issue, especially as we age, causing discomfort and even limiting mobility; however, prompt attention from a podiatrist can usually resolve the problem and restore comfort.
- Genu Varum: Bowlegs, or genu varum, can cause discomfort and affect your ability to move around easily, but with the right support such as assistive devices or physical therapy, you can maintain your active lifestyle and comfort.
- Corn: That hard, painful bump on your toe or foot, a corn, is a common problem for seniors, often caused by changes in foot shape or ill-fitting shoes. Treatment may involve removing the corn and preventing it from returning through proper footwear and foot care.
- Varicose Eczema: If you have varicose veins and notice itchy, inflamed skin, you may have varicose eczema; managing this involves keeping the affected area clean and dry, using gentle skincare, and following your doctor's advice to maintain independence and prevent infections.
- Diabetic (Charcot) Foot: If you have diabetes, Charcot foot is a potential complication where your bones and joints in your feet weaken and deform, but regular podiatrist check-ups, proper footwear, and customized treatment plans can protect your feet and ensure you stay active.
- Stress Fracture of Foot: Overuse or minor trauma can result in a tiny break in a foot bone, a stress fracture; with appropriate treatment, such as rest and supportive footwear, you can minimize pain and maintain your activity level.
- Callus: Sometimes, repeated friction or pressure causes a callusa toughened area of skin on your footbut your podiatrist can help manage this common issue so that you can continue enjoying your favourite activities.
