Peripheral Artery Disease and Your Feet
Diagnosis, Prevention, & Treatment
Peripheral Artery Disease occurs when plaque builds up, it can cause blockages in these arteries, reducing blood flow and essential nutrients to your lower limbs. This can lead to pain and fatigue when walking, as well as skin changes such as discoloration or ulcers.
It’s important to seek medical care if you experience any of these symptoms, as PAD can lead to serious complications if left untreated. With regular screening and lifestyle changes, however, it is possible to reduce your risk of developing this condition. Take a quick quiz to see if you are showing signs of PAD.
