Understanding peripheral arterial disease and poor circulation, and how we help in Waverly.
Looking for help with peripheral arterial disease and poor circulation in Waverly? Our Waverly clinic at 110 Hillwood Drive offers exams, treatment, and follow up close to home.
Peripheral arterial disease, or PAD, means the arteries in the legs have narrowed. Less blood reaches the feet, so they get less oxygen and heal slowly. It is a common cause of poor circulation.
PAD is more likely in people who smoke or have diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. It often starts with leg cramps when walking. Finding it early lowers the chance of wounds and helps protect your heart too.
Also called: PAD

Diagnosis and care
How we treat peripheral arterial disease and poor circulation in Waverly.
Step 1 · Diagnosis
We check pulses in your feet, skin color and temperature, and hair and nail changes. We may do simple blood pressure tests in the ankle and arm to compare blood flow. Ultrasound of the arteries or other imaging may be advised, and we may refer you to a vascular specialist.
Step 2 · Treatment
Care often starts with lifestyle steps, like quitting smoking and a walking program. Your doctors may manage blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. We protect your feet with good shoes, wound care, and daily checks. If sores are present, we treat them and coordinate with vascular care.
When blood flow is very low, a vascular specialist may open or bypass the blocked arteries. This can help wounds heal and ease pain.
