INTRODUCTION;

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a common circulatory condition where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, particularly the legs. This reduced blood flow can lead to pain, discomfort, and mobility issues, significantly affecting a person’s quality of life. Fortunately, the Physio360 Centre in Chennai offers the best physiotherapy treatments for managing and improving PAD symptoms.


Understanding Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

PAD is caused by atherosclerosis, where fatty deposits (plaque) build up in the artery walls, reducing blood circulation. The most affected areas are the legs, but it can also impact other body parts. Risk factors include smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle.


Symptoms of Peripheral Artery Disease

  • Leg pain or cramping during activities (claudication)

  • Numbness or weakness in the legs

  • Coldness in the lower leg or foot

  • Non-healing sores on the legs, feet, or toes

  • Slow hair growth on legs or feet

  • Shiny skin on the legs
