Overcoming Leg Pain: Expert Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Treatment in Los Angeles
For many Southern California residents, leg pain is often dismissed as a natural sign of aging or a temporary strain. However, persistent cramping, heaviness, or “aching” while walking could be a signal of a more serious condition: Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
At Southern California Vascular, we specialize in identifying and treating PAD using the most advanced, minimally invasive techniques available. Our mission is to restore your mobility and prevent serious complications through collaborative, expert care.
What is Peripheral Artery Disease?
PAD occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to your legs and feet. This buildup (atherosclerosis) narrows the vessels, restricting oxygen-rich blood flow. Without proper Peripheral Artery Disease Treatment, PAD can lead to non-healing wounds, chronic pain, and in severe cases, the risk of amputation.
Signs You Should See a Vascular Specialist
Many patients don’t realize they have PAD until it affects their daily life. Common symptoms include:
- Painful cramping in the hips, thighs, or calves after activity (claudication).
- Leg numbness or weakness.
- Sores on toes or feet that won’t heal.
- A change in the color or temperature of your legs.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, our team of interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons is here to provide a definitive diagnosis using non-invasive Vascular Ultrasound and diagnostic Arteriograms.
