Are You Noticing PAD Symptoms?

In the beginning, PAD may show no symptoms at all. But when they do appear, they can interfere with your daily activities and lead to serious complications. Early detection is key to preventing progression. If you notice any signs of PAD, consulting a vascular specialist is essential, as symptoms can stem from different health issues.

Ulcers

Painful, slow-healing sores on the skin could be ulcers, often caused by poor circulation. Without treatment, they can worsen and become infected.

Leg Swelling

If your legs feel heavy, tight, or puffy, fluid buildup (edema) may be the cause. It’s often linked to circulation issues and requires attention.

Varicose Veins

Bulging, twisted veins in your legs aren’t just a cosmetic concern—they can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort, often worsening over time.

Skin Discoloration

If you notice dark or reddish patches on your skin, poor circulation or inflammation might be the cause. It’s a sign your vascular health needs attention.

Spider Veins

Those tiny red or blue veins on your skin’s surface may seem harmless, but they could signal circulation problems or increased vein pressure.

Restless Legs

An irresistible urge to move your legs, especially at night, can disrupt sleep and daily life. Restless legs syndrome can be more than just an annoyance.

Poor Circulation

Cold feet, numbness, or tingling? These could be signs of poor circulation, meaning your blood isn’t flowing as it should to your limbs.

Leg Cramps

Sharp, sudden muscle pain in your legs—especially at night—may be due to poor circulation, dehydration, or nerve issues. Don’t ignore frequent cramps.

Dermatitis

Red, itchy, irritated skin? Dermatitis can flare up due to allergies, irritants, or circulation problems, making your skin uncomfortable and inflamed.

Minimally Invasive Vascular Treatments to Restore Your Health

Advancements in vascular care have transformed the way conditions like PAD are treated. At Heart Vascular and Leg Center, we offer state-of-the-art, minimally invasive procedures that improve circulation and enhance quality of life. Our specialized team has a proven track record of preventing amputations and providing lasting relief for patients experiencing pain, swelling, or slow-healing wounds. If you’re facing discomfort or limited mobility due to vascular issues, our expert-led treatments offer a safer, less invasive path to healing.

Angiogram

An angiogram is an advanced imaging test that uses X-rays and a contrast dye to map your blood vessels, helping detect blockages or abnormalities in circulation.

Angioplasty

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure where a tiny balloon is used to open narrowed or blocked arteries, restoring healthy blood flow.

Atherectomy

Atherectomy is a specialized treatment that removes built-up plaque from the artery walls using a catheter, reducing the risk of serious complications.

IVC

IVC filter placement is a life-saving procedure where a small device is inserted into the inferior vena cava to catch blood clots before they reach the lungs.
