Foot & Lower Leg Circulation Disorders
We treat a number of circulation disorders with surgical and non-surgical options
Acrocyanosis
Acrocyanosis is a usually painless circulatory disorder that turns the skin blue in appearance due to a lack of oxygen delivery.
Chilblains(cold feet)
Chilblains, or cold feet, are the inflammation of blood vessels in the feet, and cause pain, redness, itching, swelling and blistering as the result of repeated exposure to cold air.
Erythromelalgia
Erythromelalgia is characterized by burning pain and redness in the feet. Though rare, onset can occur at any age.
Infections
Infections of the foot and ankle are caused by an invasion of parasites or harmful microorganisms and can range in severity.
Ischemic foot
Ischemic foot describes poor circulation to the feet resulting from several causes. If not treated, it can cause other issues, like sores, ulcers, and gangrene in rare cases.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
Peripheral arterial disease is the decreased lower extremity arterial perfusion (poor circulation) caused by atherosclerotic plaques which restrict blood flow.
