Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Randall Stigliano 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:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Experiencing frequent indigestion or a burning sensation in your chest? This could be GERD, and while it can be bothersome, many effective treatments are available to help you feel better and maintain your independence.
- Otitis Media: If you experience ear pain, pressure, or difficulty hearing, you might have otitis media (a middle ear infection). Your doctor can provide effective treatment to relieve your symptoms and prevent long-term problems, allowing you to stay active and engaged.
- Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis is a bone disease that causes bones to become thin and weak, increasing the risk of fractures; medication, exercise, and a healthy diet can help manage the disease and prevent bone loss.
- Joint Pain: Understanding the cause of your joint pain is the first step towards finding the right approach for relief, allowing you to participate more fully in life and enjoy greater comfort.
- Dehydration: Recognizing the signs of dehydration, like dry mouth or decreased urination, allows for prompt intervention, preventing serious complications and improving your loved one's quality of life.
- Itchy Skin: Dealing with itchy skin can be frustrating, but understanding the cause whether it's dryness, allergies, or a medical condition allows for targeted treatment and better quality of life.
- Painful Urination (Dysuria): Experiencing burning or stinging during urination can be concerning, but many effective treatments are available to reduce the pain and improve your comfort.
- Acute Lower Respiratory Infection: Experiencing an acute lower respiratory infection can be unsettling, but effective treatment focusing on managing symptoms like coughing and shortness of breath ensures you get better faster and prevents serious complications, preserving your quality of life.
- Lipid Disorders: Unhealthy levels of fats in your blood, known as lipid disorders, increase your risk of heart problems, but they can often be controlled with medication, a balanced diet, and exercise, which can help preserve your quality of life.
- Arthritis of the Elbow: Experiencing pain and stiffness in your elbow? It could be elbow arthritis, a treatable condition that often responds well to a combination of medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments to help you stay active and independent.
- Muscle Cramping: Muscle cramping, those sudden, painful tightenings in your muscles, can be managed with simple stretches, staying hydrated, and sometimes medication, helping you maintain your daily activities.
- Osteoarthritis of Hip: Hip osteoarthritis involves the wearing down of cartilage in the hip joint, leading to pain and reduced movement; however, treatments like physical therapy and medication can help maintain independence and reduce discomfort.
