Know the Warning Signs

Common Symptoms of Peripheral Arterial Disease

The most common symptoms of PAD involving the lower extremities are cramping, pain, or tiredness in the leg or hip muscles while walking or climbing stairs. Typically, this pain goes away with rest and returns when you walk again.

Leg or Hip Cramping

Cramping, pain, or tiredness in the leg or hip muscles while walking or climbing stairs.

Pain Relieved by Rest

Discomfort typically eases with rest and returns again once you start walking.

Often Undiagnosed

Many people mistake PAD symptoms for something else, and it frequently goes undiagnosed by healthcare professionals.

Why PAD Matters

Peripheral arterial disease is a serious circulatory condition that carries risks beyond leg pain.
  • Many people mistake the symptoms of PAD for something else
  • PAD often goes undiagnosed by healthcare professionals
  • People with peripheral arterial disease have a higher risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack, or stroke
  • Left untreated, PAD can lead to gangrene and amputation

Understand Your Risk

Risk Factors for PAD

Several lifestyle and health factors can increase your likelihood of developing peripheral arterial disease.

Smoking

Tobacco use is one of the strongest risk factors for developing PAD.

Diabetes

High blood sugar over time can damage and narrow the arteries in the legs.

High Blood Pressure

Hypertension puts extra strain on artery walls, increasing plaque buildup.

High Cholesterol

Elevated cholesterol contributes to the plaque that narrows arteries.

Age

Risk increases significantly for adults over age 50.

Family History

A family history of PAD, heart disease, or stroke raises your risk.

Simple, Painless Testing

How Is PAD Diagnosed?

The good news for PAD patients is that peripheral arterial disease is easily diagnosed in a simple, painless way. Our specialists use non-invasive vascular testing, such as an ankle-brachial index and ultrasound imaging, to measure blood flow and pinpoint narrowed or blocked arteries before recommending a personalized treatment plan.
Schedule a Consultation

Personalized Vascular Care

Treatment Options for This Condition

At Premier Vein & Vascular Center, we offer a number of procedures to help alleviate the underlying cause of your symptoms, including:

Stent Placement

A small mesh tube is inserted to help keep a narrowed artery open and restore blood flow.

Atherectomy

A minimally invasive procedure that removes plaque buildup from inside the artery wall.

Arteriograms

An imaging procedure that maps blood flow to precisely locate arterial blockages.

Thrombolysis

Clot-dissolving medication is delivered directly to the site of a blockage.

Balloon Angioplasty

A small balloon is used to widen a narrowed artery and improve circulation.

Take Control

Lifestyle Management

Many people who suffer from PAD have found success by pairing medical treatment with heart-healthy lifestyle changes.
  • Improved, heart-healthy diet
  • Regular exercise, such as walking
  • Quitting smoking

We Accept Most Major Insurance Plans

Premier Vein & Vascular Center works with most major insurance providers to make PAD evaluation and treatment accessible. Our team will help verify your benefits and explain your coverage before treatment begins.
