Peripheral artery disease is a condition that causes the narrowing of the arteries in the legs and arms. This can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness in the affected limbs. Treatment for PAD typically includes lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly. Medications may also be prescribed to lower cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to open or bypass blocked arteries. Encino Vascular Institute understands the unique needs of each patient and strives to develop tailored treatment plans that address their specific condition and lifestyle requirements.
