🦶 Pain in your toes or feet at night when lying down?
That’s not just aging—it could be a sign of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
💡 When you’re lying flat, gravity isn’t helping blood flow to your legs and feet. If your arteries are narrowed, this reduced circulation can cause pain, cramping, or burning in your toes and feet.
🌙 Many people find relief when they hang their feet off the bed or get up and walk around—that’s a red flag that your blood flow is compromised.
🚨 Don’t ignore nighttime leg pain. Left untreated, PAD can lead to non-healing wounds or even limb loss. Early detection is key.


Let’s get to the bottom of it—call Douglas Vascular Center for a quick, non-invasive vascular screening today.

👀 Shiny skin? Hair loss on your legs?
These changes may seem harmless, but they can be early signs of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
🦵 PAD happens when narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your legs, starving your skin and hair follicles of oxygen and nutrients.
🔍 Shiny skin, smooth texture, and hair loss are your body’s subtle way of waving a red flag.
⚠️ Left unchecked, PAD can progress to pain, wounds, or even serious complications.


A simple, non-invasive test can give you answers and peace of mind. Call us today.

🩺 What is Kyphoplasty?
Kyphoplasty is a procedure that treats vertebral compression fractures, often caused by osteoporosis, spinal tumors, or trauma. It involves inserting a balloon into the collapsed vertebra to restore its height, followed by the injection of bone cement to stabilize the fracture. This technique not only alleviates pain but also helps correct spinal deformities like kyphosis. ​

Restored Spinal Alignment: The procedure helps in correcting spinal curvature, improving posture and reducing strain on surrounding muscles. ​

Improved Mobility: By stabilizing the spine, patients often regain the ability to perform daily activities with greater ease. ​

Minimally Invasive: Kyphoplasty is typically an outpatient procedure with a small incision, leading to quicker recovery times and minimal scarring. ​

🌸 Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) Awareness 🌸

Hello everyone! 🌍 Let’s talk about Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), a minimally invasive treatment for uterine fibroids. If you or someone you know is struggling with fibroids, this might be the solution you’re looking for. Here’s what you need to know:

🔹 What is UFE? Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a procedure that blocks the blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink. It’s an effective alternative to surgery with a shorter recovery time.

🔹 Benefits of UFE:

Minimally invasive procedure 🛠️
Shorter recovery time compared to traditional surgery ⏳
Effective relief from fibroid symptoms 🌟
Preservation of the uterus 🩺
🔹 Who Can Benefit from UFE?

Women with symptomatic uterine fibroids 🌰
Those looking for an alternative to hysterectomy 🔄
Patients who want a minimally invasive option 🛌
🔹 Procedure Details:

Performed by an interventional radiologist 🩺
Involves a small incision and the use of imaging to guide tiny particles into the arteries supplying the fibroids 📸
Typically an outpatient procedure with a quick return to normal activities 🏥
🗣️ Consult Your Doctor:

If you have symptoms of uterine fibroids, talk to your healthcare provider about UFE 🗣️
Discuss all available treatment options to find what’s best for you 🌟
Let’s raise awareness about UFE and support those affected by uterine fibroids. Share this post to help educate others and spread the word about this effective treatment option!
