We have testing for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) with a FDA cleared device TRUPAD. This is a condition in which the arteries become narrow. Mostly affected are diabetics, over the age 50 history of smoking, obesity, high blood pressure or high cholersterol.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) may not cause symptoms, or symptoms may be mild. PAD symptoms include:
Leg pain when walking.
Muscle pain or cramping in the arms or legs, often in the calf.
Muscle pain in the arms or legs that begins with exercise and ends with rest.
Painful cramping in one or both of the hips, thighs or calves after walking or climbing stairs or other activities.
Pain when using the arms, such as aching and cramping when knitting or writing.
Coldness in the lower leg or foot, especially when compared with the other side.
Leg numbness or weakness.
No pulse or a weak pulse in the legs or feet.
Many people don’t know what PAD is, nor do they realize that it increases the risk of limb amputation, as well as the risk of heart attack and stroke. If you would like testing please reach walk into our office or make an appointmnet at your earliest convenience.
