What Does Leg Pain have to do with Your Heart?

Cramping in your legs or feet can mean they’re not getting enough blood from your heart, a sign of peripheral artery disease (PAD), which damages the arteries that carry blood to the arms, legs, and feet. People with PAD are at higher risk of heart disease and increased risk of death from heart attack and stroke.

Painful Veins? Learn the Best Treatment Options.

PhotoDo you experience leg pain, swelling, throbbing discomfort, discoloration or unsightly bulges caused by varicose veins? Veins may be uncomfortable, and some varicose veins can cause more serious conditions if left untreated. There are conservative and advanced treatment options available, and identifying the cause of your varicose veins is as simple as having an ultrasound test.

Treatment is also easier than you may have heard. Previous vein stripping procedures could be painful with longer recovery times. Today, patients experience less pain, easier recovery, and positive cosmetic results with the latest minimally invasive laser and surgical treatments for varicose and spider veins.
