Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Jose Quinones 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:
- Benign Chronic Pain Syndrome: Benign chronic pain syndrome is a condition characterized by long-lasting pain without a specific underlying disease. With the right care plan, focusing on pain relief and improving function, you can continue to live a fulfilling life.
- Chronic Pain: Chronic pain is ongoing discomfort that lasts for more than three months, significantly impacting daily life and potentially requiring ongoing medical management to improve quality of life.
- Fungal Infections: Many fungal infections respond well to over-the-counter or prescription antifungal creams, pills, or powders, helping you feel better and stay independent.
- Stomach Stenosis: If you have stomach stenosis, the passageway between your esophagus and stomach is narrowed, making it hard for food to pass through; however, treatments such as medication or surgery can help ease discomfort and improve your ability to eat comfortably.
- Chronic Bronchitis: A persistent cough and excessive mucus are common signs of chronic bronchitis, a lung condition that can be effectively managed with medication and lifestyle modifications to allow you to enjoy a higher quality of life.
- Orthopedic Sports Injuries: Even seniors who enjoy activities like walking or gardening can experience orthopedic sports injuries such as knee pain or a twisted ankle; prompt treatment focuses on pain relief, restoring function, and helping you stay independent.
- Noninfectious Gastroenteritis and Colitis: Sometimes, stomach and intestinal inflammation happens without an infection, causing discomfort like diarrhea and abdominal pain. Managing this (noninfectious gastroenteritis/colitis) often involves dietary changes and medication to ease symptoms and maintain your daily routine.
