Poor circulation occurs when your body isn’t receiving adequate blood flow, especially in the legs, arms, and feet. It isn’t a disease on its own, but a warning sign of underlying vascular problems. When circulation is reduced, it can lead to pain, slow-healing wounds, and, if untreated, an increased risk of limb-threatening complications.
One of the most common causes of poor circulation is Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries and restricts blood flow. Many people with PAD don’t notice symptoms until the disease has progressed and issues like leg cramps, cold feet, numbness, or skin color changes begin to appear.
Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to protect your mobility and prevent serious complications. At Heart, Vascular & Leg Center, Dr. Vinod Kumar, MD, FACC, and his expert team use advanced diagnostic testing and minimally invasive treatments to improve circulation, relieve symptoms, and preserve limb health.
Poor circulation happens when blood flow to different parts of the body is reduced or obstructed. This can result from plaque buildup in the arteries, leading to conditions like peripheral artery disease. If your circulation is compromised, you may experience symptoms such as:
Healthy circulation is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. When blood flow is restricted, the legs and feet often suffer first, leading to pain, swelling, and other complications.
Poor circulation occurs when blood flow is restricted, preventing oxygen and essential nutrients from reaching the body's tissues. This condition often affects the legs and feet, causing symptoms like numbness, tingling, pain, and muscle weakness. Underlying health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and peripheral artery disease (PAD) can increase the risk of poor circulation, making early diagnosis and treatment essential.
Circulatory issues extend beyond discomfort; they can lead to serious complications, including slow-healing wounds, an increased risk of infections, and in severe cases, tissue damage. Without proper medical intervention, poor circulation can impact your overall health and quality of life. Seeking expert care ensures that you receive the right treatment to restore healthy blood flow and prevent long-term complications.

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.
During angioplasty, a low-profile catheter with an inflatable balloon is used to stretch the affected artery open. This process restores blood flow to the rest of the body. In cases where a clot is blocking the artery, medicine can be administered through the catheter.
Using cutting-edge technology, including orbital and rotational devices, atherectomy removes built-up plaque from arteries. This method is ideal for cases where stents aren’t suitable, ensuring better blood flow.
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.
