Peripheral Vascular Disease

Understanding, Managing, and Treating Poor Circulation for Better Health

What is Peripheral Vascular Disease?

Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a circulatory condition in which narrowed or blocked blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs. This condition often affects the arteries and veins in the legs but can impact other parts of the body. If left untreated, PVD can lead to serious complications, including pain, limited mobility, and even the risk of amputation.

Signs and Symptoms of PVD

The symptoms of PVD can vary, but common signs include:

  • Leg Pain or Cramping: Often felt during walking or exercise and relieved by rest (claudication).

  • Cold or Discolored Skin: A sign of reduced blood flow.

  • Wounds That Won’t Heal: Slow-healing sores or ulcers, especially on the legs and feet.

  • Numbness or Weakness: A feeling of heaviness or weakness in the legs.

  • Hair Loss on the Legs or Feet: A potential indicator of poor circulation.
