Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Treatment at Wound Care Hospitals
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a circulatory condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs, typically affecting the legs. When PAD occurs, your extremities, usually your legs, don’t receive enough blood flow to keep up with the body’s demand, which can cause pain, cramping, and weakness, especially during walking or exercise.
At Wound Care Hospitals, we specialize in diagnosing and treating PAD using the latest technology and personalized care plans to help restore healthy blood circulation and improve your quality of life.
