Poor circulation in the legs can be a sign of peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition caused by narrowed or blocked arteries that reduce blood flow to the lower extremities. Peripheral artery disease symptoms often include leg pain, cramping, numbness, or slow-healing wounds, which may worsen with activity and improve with rest. If left untreated, PAD can lead to serious complications, including ulcers and tissue damage. Dr. Amiel Moshfegh offers diagnosis and advanced treatment options at Southern California Vascular Institute to restore circulation and relieve symptoms. If you’re experiencing leg discomfort or other PAD symptoms, contact one of our locations in Bakersfield or Los Angeles, CA to explore your treatment options.
