Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Mamun Alrashid 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:
- Enthesopathy of Hip (incl. Trochanteric Bursitis): Enthesopathy of the hip, which might include trochanteric bursitis, causes discomfort where tendons join the hip bone. Treatment focuses on managing pain and improving function, so you can stay active and enjoy life to the fullest.
- Coccygeal Pain: Coccygeal pain, or tailbone pain, is a common discomfort, often felt as a sharp or dull ache in the lower back, and can be managed with simple measures like sitting on cushions or receiving physical therapy to improve mobility and reduce pain.
- Hip Osteophyte: As we age, bony spurs, or hip osteophytes, can form, potentially impacting hip function and causing pain. Fortunately, various treatments exist to manage the pain and restore comfort and mobility.
- Spondylitis: Spondylitis is a type of arthritis affecting the spine, leading to inflammation and pain. Working with your doctor to develop a treatment plan, incorporating lifestyle adjustments and medical interventions, can help you better manage your condition and enjoy a more active lifestyle.
- Back Pain: Back pain, a common experience for seniors, can often be managed with simple strategies like gentle exercise, over-the-counter pain relievers, and physical therapy, improving mobility and comfort.
- Post-Laminectomy Syndrome: Post-laminectomy syndrome refers to lingering discomfort, like pain or stiffness, that might appear after spine surgery, and managing this involves strategies like pain medication, physical therapy, and sometimes further procedures to improve your quality of life.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Degenerative disc disease is a common age-related condition where the cushions between your spinal bones (discs) wear down, causing pain and stiffness.
- Spondylolisthesis: With spondylolisthesis, a vertebra slips forward, causing back pain and potentially affecting mobility. Fortunately, many treatments, from pain management to surgery, are available to help restore comfort and independence.
- Tibia or Fibula Stress Fracture: Experiencing pain in your lower leg? It could be a stress fracture of the tibia or fibula. Treatment typically involves reducing activity, using supportive footwear, and gentle exercises to aid healing and get you back on your feet.
- Non-Unions and Malunions of Fractures: A non-union or malunion is when a broken bone doesn't heal properly, leaving you with pain and limited movement, but with the right treatment, such as surgery or bone grafting, you can regain function and improve your mobility.
- Hip Sprain: A hip sprain involves injury to the ligaments in your hip, potentially limiting movement and causing discomfort. Following your doctor's recommendations for rest, physical therapy and pain management can alleviate symptoms and enhance your daily life.
- AC Joint Injury: A fall or injury can damage the AC joint in your shoulder, causing discomfort; treatment may include physical therapy, medication, or, in some cases, surgery to improve comfort and maintain mobility.

Here are answers to some common questions about Orthopedic care with Dr. Mamun Alrashid:
- What is an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Alrashid and our team are orthopedic surgeons, meaning we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of the entire musculoskeletal systembones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. We offer both surgical and non-surgical options to relieve pain and restore function for seniors.
- Does seeing an orthopedic surgeon automatically mean I need surgery?
- Absolutely not. Dr. Alrashid's practice emphasizes finding the best treatment plan for each individual, often starting with conservative options like physical therapy, injections, or bracing. Surgery is only considered when it's the most beneficial way to restore function and quality of life.
- My ankle feels weak and painful. What are my options?
- Chronic ankle pain and instability in seniors can be caused by arthritis or old ligament injuries. Treatment typically begins with supportive bracing, physical therapy, and injections. If these measures are insufficient, Dr. Alrashid can discuss surgical options like ankle fusion or, in some cases, total ankle replacement to provide stability and pain relief.
- What can be done for my painful knee or hip arthritis?
- We understand the pain you're experiencing. Treatment for arthritis is a gradual process, often starting with anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and cortisone injections. If these measures don't adequately relieve your pain and limit your daily activities, Dr. Alrashid may discuss joint replacement surgery as a powerful option to improve mobility and reduce pain.
- How is a broken hip (hip fracture) treated in seniors?
- A broken hip in an older adult is a serious injury, almost always requiring surgery to stabilize the bone. The type of surgery depends on the specific fracture pattern. The primary goal is to relieve pain and get the patient moving again as quickly and safely as possible, often with physical therapy.
- What is joint replacement surgery?
- Joint replacement surgery, performed by Dr. Alrashid, is a procedure to replace a damaged or arthritic joint with an artificial implant. The goal is to relieve the bone-on-bone pain caused by severe arthritis, and it's a very successful procedure for seniors that can improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore independence.
- What is arthroscopic surgery?
- Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure where Dr. Alrashid uses a tiny camera and small instruments inserted through small incisions to see and repair problems inside a joint. It often results in less pain, less tissue damage, and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
- What is a cortisone injection?
- A cortisone injection is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication injected directly into a painful area, like a knee or shoulder. It works by reducing swelling and inflammation, often providing temporary pain relief for conditions like arthritis or tendonitis. It's a safe and effective tool to manage flare-ups.
