Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Seba Krumholtz 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:
- Difficulty With Walking: Difficulty walking is a common concern, especially as we age, but we can work together to find solutions that make moving around easier and safer.
- Common Cold: For older adults, a common cold may sometimes lead to more significant fatigue and weakness, so prioritizing rest and hydration are particularly important for a faster recovery and maintaining your overall well-being.
- Insomnia: Experiencing insomnia means struggling to get enough restful sleep, which can leave you feeling tired and irritable during the day; however, many effective strategies and medical interventions are available to help improve your sleep.
- Overweight: Being overweight means carrying more body fat than is considered healthy, which can increase the risk of health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis, but with a healthy diet and exercise plan, you can often manage your weight and improve your overall well-being.
- Adult Failure to Thrive: If an older loved one seems less energetic, is losing weight without trying, and is less interested in social activities, they may be experiencing Adult Failure to Thrive (AFTT). A thorough assessment and personalized care plan can help improve their condition.
- Bronchospasm: If you have bronchospasm, it means your breathing tubes are becoming narrow, causing you to struggle for breath, but a personalized treatment plan can help you breathe easier and enjoy a better quality of life.
- Arthritis: Arthritis is a common condition causing joint pain and stiffness, often manageable with medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes to maintain mobility and independence.
- Peripheral Autonomic Neuropathy: If you experience symptoms like lightheadedness, digestive problems, or changes in sweating, it could be due to peripheral autonomic neuropathy, a condition impacting the nerves controlling automatic bodily functions; fortunately, managing this condition with medical care can help improve your daily well-being.
- Symptomatic Menopause: Menopause is the natural end of menstruation, but for some women, the symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, or mood changes are intense. Managing these symptoms, whether through lifestyle changes or medication, can help maintain comfort and well-being.
- All Headaches (incl. Migraine): Experiencing headaches or migraines? Understanding the cause and finding the right treatment plan can help you reduce pain and maintain your independence.
- Nasopharyngitis: If you're experiencing nasopharyngitis (a common cold), know that most symptoms, like sneezing and a runny nose, will subside within a week or two. Plenty of rest and fluids can help support your body's natural healing process and make you feel better faster.
- Coccygeal Pain: Discomfort in your tailbone area, known as coccygeal pain, can often be managed with simple strategies like posture adjustments, warm compresses, and over-the-counter pain relievers, improving your daily comfort and independence.
