Peripheral Artery Disease Treatments
Nonsurgical PAD Specialists in Greensboro, Rural North Carolina, & Virginia
Do your leg muscles start to hurt when you walk or exercise? Do you have dull aching pain in your legs when you stand too long? These symptoms could be related to problems with your arteries or veins.
When the blood supply to your leg is reduced due to plaque buildup inside your arteries, you could initially experience ‘claudication’ or leg pain that starts or is worsened by walking or exercise. As the amount of plaque buildup increases and your blood supply gets further reduced, you could have leg pain even at rest. At Sunrise Vascular, we have expertise in diagnosing plaque buildup in arteries and treating with minimally invasive therapies.
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the medical term for atherosclerotic narrowing of the arteries of the periphery of the body.
- This disease affects more than 200 million people worldwide.
- In most people, the disease remains asymptomatic but in a subset of people, it can progress to symptoms of severe pain at rest and poorly healing ulcers, gangrene, and ultimately amputations. This subset of PAD is classified as ‘critical limb threatening ischemia’ or CLTI.
