Poor Circulation

Poor circulation in the feet and ankles is often a sign of an underlying vascular condition and can lead to a range of complications if left untreated. It occurs when blood flow to the lower extremities is reduced, typically due to narrowed or blocked arteries. This condition is especially common in individuals with diabetes, peripheral artery disease (PAD), or a history of smoking.

Common signs and symptoms of poor circulation include:

• Cold feet or toes
• Numbness or tingling sensations
• Cramping or pain while walking (claudication)
• Slow-healing wounds or ulcers
• Discoloration or a bluish tint to the skin
• Hair loss on the legs or feet

If left unmanaged, poor circulation can increase the risk of infections, tissue damage, and in severe cases, amputation. That’s why early detection and proper care are essential.
