Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Nelson Mane 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:
- Diabetes: Diabetes can affect many parts of your body, but by closely monitoring your blood sugar and following your treatment plan, you can reduce the risk of serious complications and enjoy a better quality of life.
- Venous Embolism and Thrombosis: VTE is a condition where blood clots form in the veins, sometimes causing leg pain and swelling, but with prompt treatment like blood thinners, it can prevent serious health risks and help you remain active.
- Pharyngitis: Pharyngitis, or a sore throat, may be caused by a virus or bacteria. Your doctor can help determine the cause and recommend appropriate treatment to help you feel better faster and prevent complications.
- Limb Pain: Limb pain can significantly impact your ability to enjoy daily activities, but with proper diagnosis and treatment from your doctor, you can often find relief and regain your active lifestyle.
- Hypertension: High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a common condition where the force of blood against your artery walls is too high, and managing it with medication and lifestyle changes can help you stay healthy and independent.
- Dehydration: If you're experiencing dry mouth, less frequent urination, or unusual fatigue, dehydration could be the cause, a condition easily managed with appropriate hydration strategies to maintain your independence.
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): COPD involves ongoing damage to your lungs, making it difficult to take deep breaths, but medication, pulmonary rehabilitation, and lifestyle changes can significantly improve your breathing and quality of life.

Working with a healthcare team to uncover and address the root causes can help restore their health and improve their enjoyment of life.
- Acute Bronchitis: If you've developed a cough and chest congestion, it might be acute bronchitis, a temporary lung infection that often resolves on its own with supportive care, allowing you to maintain your independence.
- Nail Infection: Nail infections, sometimes noticeable by discoloration or thickening, are treatable with antifungal or antibiotic medications prescribed by your physician to restore healthy nails and improve your comfort.
- Mild Asthma: Mild asthma is a type of lung disease that causes some breathing difficulties, but it's often easily controlled with medication, allowing you to maintain your independence and enjoy your daily activities with minimal disruption.
- Long COVID Disorder: Long COVID is a condition where symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and shortness of breath linger for weeks or months after a COVID-19 infection, and managing these symptoms can help maintain your daily activities.
