There’s little doubt that living with chronic pain can be a distraction and cause a break in your normal routine. Constant discomfort can lead to insomnia, anxiety, and even unrelenting depression. One of the most common causes of chronic pain is known to be arthritis. People over the age of 65 are especially vulnerable to falls, hip pain, shoulder injuries, and chronic headaches. Arthritis during the wintertime is particularly bothersome as cold conditions can exacerbate underlying pain and chronic disease. If you are looking for an efficient way to deal with chronic illness; consider our Valley Stream Orthopedist, Dr. Stanislav Avshalumov, at Advanced Orthopedics & Joint Preservation.

Orthopedic surgeons, doctors who specialize in the preservation and health of your bones, play a critical role in the recovery of trauma and joint-related injuries. Osteoporosis, a common condition for elderly patients in which the bones gradually become porous, is one example of joint-related injury. We strongly recommend that women over the age of 65 receive a bone density screening test to help identify this issue. Vitamin D deficiency is also prevalent in the United States, which contributes to the development of weakness in your bones. Adults aged 70 and up should be consuming 600 IU of Vitamin D and 1200 mg of calcium daily.
